JOURNALIST WEEK 4

JOURNALIST!

Good night guys! Journalist here! I am Marina García and today I am going to tell you how different our week has been.

Do you remember the difficulties every of us had last week?
Exactly!! We have had another chance to improve ourselves and show who we are!

At that moment our main work was to improve the presentation about the Earth and help the stars with their speech (you know, using the body language, point out the screen, move around, and so on..)So, let's start:

 On Thrusday afternoon every Chalkie were working hard, we all met at Alicia's house so as to rebuild our work. I could tell you that we had fun working, we did a great job, and we really enjoyed doing it. However...nothing could be further from the truth. It was such a little mess. First of all, the Internet was not working so well, so some of us had to go down to La Merced University in order to obtain some free WI-FI, meanwhile others stayed at home improving the presentation. Secondly, we didn't find nice pictures with CC Licence, and the ones that we found were not really suitable for a children presentation. So...we decided to create our own drawings! Yes...It could be a great and fun idea if we had had  colorful crayons, but we were not as lucky.

That day we were not working as always, we seemed to be snails, we worked really slow. Maybe it was because of tireness of that week. Therefore, once we have finished everything, we decided to go out for a while and have fun. Chalkies were having dinner and dacing! We deserved it, truts me.


HAVE A LOOK TO OUR SCHEUDLE : 
 
     




On Monday every group presented their new work and also Linda explained to us how to develop a perfect presentation. Nothing rare occured, Everything was OK.

Just move on into Wednesday morning. A new activity was ordered to us. We had to join the rest of mates that had the same role and create a 30 seconds presentation explaining who to perform perfectly depending on the role that we had, In my case, I joined the rest of journalists and we decided to create a video in order to show 7 useful tips to be a great journalist. Let's have a look:

We made it just in two ours, We worked really well together and we hadn't any problem. In addition we really had fun while we were recording ourselves. Such a funny experience!

Here you can see some pictures about the week. I hope you enjoy it:

In addition we have checked out some other blogs in order to obtain some ideas and learn from. We have really liked the one of our mates Tuttifruties  (https://tuttifrutieducation.wordpress.com/) as I have said to them in a comment: I think they are so original since they used a story for this task and also it was intended to children, what I think it is the most important point, In addition they used a source that nobody used, a video explanation. 

As we are also trying to perform an efective presentation, we were having a look at some other blogs that help people with this oral performances. I recommend you the following blog:  http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/presentationskills.htm

Here you have a lot of information that will be so useful in your student and teacher life. Enjoy it!


As you know feedback is really important! You will be such as helpful if you comment our work, Do you think we are performing well our roles?  LET ME KNOW, PLEASE!!!

SEE YOU SOON!
