'Idea-less'

I was so stressed. My pair partner, Mark too had no idea how to extract video and also on manipulating the video "Earth Song'. Honestly, we felt that this video was of a little higher level for primary kids. We felt that the main message of the video was about 'deforestation' and 'global warming' but could we teach kids those terms?

The due date was nearing and yet we had not started anything on the video. We then tried to calm each other down and focused on another video we found. It was 'The House Song'. This video was good except for a part of the song that we did not really like. it sounded like "... Kitchen. Not chicken". At times we laughed but at times we felt annoyed too. No choice because it really can make the pupils beware of the most common mistakes of diffentiating the two words.

We were still waiting for the good idea to come in. We thought about it hard until two days before the date due, we forced ourselves to crack our head.By hook or by crook, we tried to come up with an interesting idea since early morning. Until when the hot sun got hotter (afternoon), the idea came in. We were so thankful that we got started rightaway. We divided the task and much co operation was there. We decided to create an e book on that. Teaching animals might sound easy but we felt it the most appropriate thing to teach to primary kids for it is simple and can be absorbed easily. The storyline was created fast and so did the animations as well as the tutorials.

The only things that required much of our time were the lesson plan and its rationale. It was fortunate that it was a pair work. Things became so much easier with two brains. HAHA!!!!!!!!!

All in all, we are contented with whatever we produced for this second assignments.We felt it excellent enough (haha...) and flawless. Of course, we really hope this assignment reaches madam Foziah's expectation.Pray hard!!
