Week 13

Hello everyone, meeting you again in 13th entry. The moment I entered the class, I was wondering, WHAT IS THE NEXT TASK? In other word, I am asking myself WHAT I AM GOING TO LEARN IN TODAY’S CLASS. The moment Pn. Foziah entered the class, she asked us to submit the 3 tasks that we are supposed to submit on this week which are MODULE 2, GROUP’S LESSON PLAN as well as E-BOOK. We really struggled in completing all these assignments but we have learned a lot of important things and the most important thing is that we COMPLETED it within the due date.


Thanks to all my group members, Kumaresen, Syuhada as well as Teh Ban Leng for being so cooperative in completing the entire group work without delaying it or giving any excuse. Today, Pn. Foziah was checking each pair’s storyboard and most of the storyboards shown were rejected. This is because, the storyboards that most of them showed to PN. Foziah do not tell any story and the same thing goes to my storyboard. My pair and I showed our pictures that we want to include in the video and our intention was to make comparison between luxury life and poverty. There is a message that we would like to deliver to all the viewers which is “Help the poor” but we do not have any storyline.






So we changed our plan. We still remain with our previous theme, humanity but we introduce a character in this story. The storyboard is about the life of a rich girl who made her journey to meet all the poor people and decided to help them as much as she could. We want the storyboard to have a story as well as a moral message for pupils to follow. Thus, my pair and I are working very hard and we really hope that Pn. Foziah will accept our storyboard.


Besides, we were also asked to do tutorial for the picture that we have uploaded in Photobucket and the due date is tomorrow. Just hope that I will be able to complete this task and submit to Pn. Foziah. Ok, that is all for this week, now I need to work on the tutorial task. Bye and see you all in next entry : )

12th Week

Hello everyone!!!! We are meeting again in the 12th entry and now I want to share my experiences in Pn. Foziah’s class. The first thing is she called of us to move to the front and she showed us her students’ eBook. It was really eye-catching and interesting. Each of the eBook is different from one another. For instance, the first eBook showed consist of Pn. Foziah’s recorded voice. The second eBook showed which was on the life-cycle of a butterfly uses a melody music from the beginning till then end of the slide show. The final one was very attractive and colourful and the picture used was big and clear.




After viewing all the eBooks, she reminded us that the eBook that we created must have NAVIGATION KEYS, THEME and PLOT, SOUND EFFECT as well as GOOD QUALITY PICTURES. So far, the eBook that my partner and I have created consist all the characterisation above except for PLOT. This is because we used a nursery rhyme and not a story.




Next, we were also given some module and I thought it was our module 4, unfortunately I was wrong. The module given is the continuation on module 2 (photo editing). I think that Pn. Foziah still wants us to learn something important in that continuation module. Next, Pn.Foziah went around checking the eBook that we have done. Pn. Foziah also commented of those eBooks and that was very useful on order to help us improve on our eBook.




Finally, before the class ends, we were shown a video clip on CUN and ELLA. It was very touching and it really amused me. Pn. Foziah assigned a new task for us where we were asked to create a video on any theme. That’s all for this entry, looking forward to meet in you in next entry, till then bye from me.

11th Week

Entering 11th week with full of confident and feeling proud as I have learned many new things from this class which other students outside there are not able to do. Today lesson is still on photo editing as Pn.Foziah was checking the task that each of us has done.


We were asked to edit a photo and the edited photo must be able to carry a message to the viewer. I edited a photo where I change the background setting. I changed the background and it appears as if I went for a holiday in Egypt. I edited it using Adobe Photoshop and frankly speaking, it consumes so much of time as I need to be very careful in erasing the old background.



Unfortunately, when I showed my picture to Pn. Foziah, she commented on the photo that I edited. She said that I went to Egypt which is a hot country but I was wearing a black shirt. Next, she said I must be wearing a bag or hat to show the viewer that I went for holiday. I was so disappointed but what Pn. Foziah said was correct.



This is because we could not just edit a picture for the sake of editing it. It must be logical so that the viewer will not feel doubt looking at the edited picture. Thus I still use the same background but I change my picture. This time around I add in a picture and in that picture I will be wearing a handbag as well as a hat.




It was successful and I uploaded it in the website that Pn. Foziah had allocated for us. I hope that my effort that I had put in is worth so that Pn.Foziah will be satisfied with my work. That is all for this week and I see you in next entry. Bubye : )
