The children drew all the pictures and recorded their voices for the characters and we put all the pieces together. This year, we are preparing the second animation story with the newcomers.I hope you like it.<br />Thanks for everything.<br />Özgeadminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02725146067868358729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314941629795542873.post-84215759873455628842009-04-13T21:04:00.000+01:002009-04-13T21:04:00.000+01:00Hi DorothyThanks for your comment. Yes I think the...Hi Dorothy<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comment. Yes I think the 'transferable' part of the criteria is number one for me. If you put time into writing something, then obviously you want someone to read it. For someone to put their time into reading your blog, then they are going to want to get something out of it and that's where the 'transferable' bit really comes in. If they can take something from what you write and use it, then they will come back to the blog for more.<BR/><BR/>That's my theory anyway.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>NikNik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314941629795542873.post-22883911816408201142009-04-13T20:50:00.000+01:002009-04-13T20:50:00.000+01:00Hi NikThank you so much for including my blog post...Hi Nik<BR/>Thank you so much for including my blog post in your list and the feedback you gave. I realised that while I have had people engage with the ideas I post about from time to time, I have never had any feedback before on it as a piece of writing! I also appreciated your criteria that the ideas in a blog post be 'transferable'. As a New Zealander it comes as a pleasant surprise that someone in another part of the world might find these ideas useful in their own context.<BR/>DorothyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16486794203463798461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314941629795542873.post-72349085720752799172009-04-13T12:13:00.000+01:002009-04-13T12:13:00.000+01:00@SusanThanks for the explanation Susan.

It ended being international !!!Lea, a student from France was the winner.<BR/><BR/>The activity "Picture our song" is strongly visual as you know.<BR/>My students choose a song, we listen to it, sing it, and make another activities.<BR/>Then I split it in phrases or statements, they have to illustrate it taking it out of context, recycling it in a meaningful way. One day, a boy had the famous "How my poor heart aches<BR/>With every step you take". What did he draw ?? A heart under a boot that was stepping on it !!!<BR/>All the posters are hung on the walls of our classroom. And we have a great fun.<BR/>Thanks again.<BR/>SusanaSusana Canelohttp://endelvallesi.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314941629795542873.post-74800480238487844502009-04-11T13:09:00.000+01:002009-04-11T13:09:00.000+01:00Hi Ya Nik,Thanks very much for including both entr...Hi Ya Nik,<BR/><BR/>Thanks very much for including both entries to the carnival!

I found it hard to 'judge' blog posts like yours which were student focused. It was clear that an enormous amount of work had gone into the ideas and getting the students to produce marvelous projects, but I for me I think that 'transferable' aspect of reading a posting is really important. When I see some great work like yours my first thought is; 'Hey! I want to try that!' Well now I can. Thanks Michael and I think a teacher focused blog would be an excellent idea.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>NikNik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314941629795542873.post-10096842090535532212009-04-11T08:03:00.000+01:002009-04-11T08:03:00.000+01:00Hi Nik,Thank you for including my entry to the Blo...Hi Nik,<BR/>Thank you for including my entry to the Blog Carnival. I really appreciate your comments. I have been thinking about making two separate blogs, one for students and one for teachers. The blog I have now is primarily for my students and I use it for facilitating tasks both in and out of class time, as a resource for students to use for independent learning, and as a means of establishing and strengthening a positive relationship with my students. The post that I entered in the carnival this time was one that showcased student projects. I'd be happy to explain to you, and anyone else who's interested, how we went through the process of the project. Here's the url for the post that started the project (http://mrstoutsblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/toyo-gakuen-university-interest-based_26.html) <BR/>I'll add the students' task sheet to iScribd asap.<BR/>Thanks againMichael Stouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357822437408420316noreply@blogger.com
