My 20% project was mostly motivated by my students complaints about what they can't do and very little about what they could do. I know from personal experience that lots of things are possible if you just try and learning a language is a long and hard process, but it is not impossible. At times I am too lazy to do the work that needs to be done, yet that doesn't meant it can't be done. The whole process was a bit emotional for me, because for years I didn't want to talk about my struggles that I had learning to read. I guess I felt that there was something wrong with me and now I see it as a strength as I know I can overcome things. I just wanted to share that same way of thinking with my students.
I got frustrated making it and it took a lot longer than I thought it would.
1. I looked through a million pictures to find ones that worked.
2. Had to scan them in, which took forever.
3. Had to crop the each picture as they didn't scan right.
4. Put them into imovie and then remembered that my microphone is broken and the sound that it records is horrible.
5. Copied it to another computer but all of the settings merged so I couldn't change anything so I had to redo it.
6. Redid it and spent an hour recording my script.
7. Writing the script was a lot harder than I thought it would be, because I wanted to get everything in the time limit that I had and still say what needed to be said. Not easy!
But I really enjoy most of the process and I was happy with the result.
The link to the story that I made is int the post below with my lesson plan.
