Week 12- E-books. Continuation of Module 2. Introduction to Video Editng.

This week lesson concerned with the making of an e-book as part of the tasks for Module 2. And this was done in pairs. Me and Nazwan chose "Animals and Pets" as the theme for our e-book and it was intended for Year 3 pupils. Before proceeding to the process of creating our e-book, Pn. Foziah showed us some examples and the criteria of how an e-book should be.

So, in brief, an e-book should have:

1) a theme for its storyline.

2) setting (time and place)


3) a plot that shows the conflict, climax and resolution for the storyline


4) characterization (characters in the story)


5) navigational tools to make sure that the slides can work properly

6) clear and colorful pictures to portray the storyline

7) sound effects that come together with the e-book reading.

It was indeed a big help when Pn.Foziah showed us some examples of e-book with a brief information on how to create a good one. That me and my partner had some inspiration and ideas to create ours in a way that will be useful to the pupils' learning. In fact, with all the skills learned from photo editing in Module 2, we managed to edit the pictures that were to be inserted in our e-book.

As it is copyrighted, I decided to insert only the first page of the e-book entitled 'Going To the Zoo'. He he.

So, here is an overview of our e-book:

A trip to the zoo by a boy with his father and little sister. He shared his experience as he described the animals that he saw.

After coming out with the storyline and preparing the first draft of the e-book, we consulted Pn.Foziah for her words of wisdom. Yes, there were few changes that needed to be done.

After the consultation time, she showed us some edited videos of Chun and Ella that were made by their fans out there. She informed us that later we are to create one for each pair. Also these videos are samples for one of the tasks that are meant for Module 4, where we are going to deal with video editing. The videos gave us some basic ideas on how video editing should be done.

And for the task, my partner, Nazwan and I decided to choose 'Pollution' as the theme for our video editing task. Can't wait to create a meaningful video soon. ^_~

Before the class ended, we received a continuation of Module 2. That means, there were MORE tutorials for photo editing that needed to be done! *sighs*. Thought that the first part of the module was more than enough, yet we received another part. Though it's quite a lot, but for sure there are more new skills that are to gain from the tutorials. Aja-aja fighting!
