Characters :
Dill - Ayuni
Jem -Brandon
Scout - Dawn
Narrator - Madeleine
The Skit :
N : The scene is outside of Boo Radley’s house.
D : Hey ! Who is Boo Radley ? What does he looks like ?
S : Well, of what we heard, Boo is about six-and-a-half feet tall ( estimate how tall ), he also eat raw squirrels and any cats he could catch.
J : That is why his hands were blood-stained. If you ate an animal raw, you could never wash the blood off.
D : Hmm, lets try to make him come out ! I would really like to see how he looks like ! I’m sure you guys want to know too !
J : What ?! Do you want to get killed ? Boo is a very dangerous person you know !
D : Listen, i dare you to go beyond the Radley’s gate ! I am sure you would not do it ?
S : Really ? You sure ?
D : ( snickered ) Well, i know you are even scared to put your big toe in the yard !
S : ( nodding ) Yup, always running !
J : No I’m not ! You have to think of this carefully ! What will happen if he gouge your eyes out ? You are not scared ?
D : ( murmuring ) Hmm, you are still scared ! ( shaking head ) Aren’t you eager to know what is inside there ? So, you sure you gonna run out on the dare ?
J : Wait ! Lemme think about it !
D : ( wait for a few seconds and sigh ) Ok, ok ! Just touch the house, all right ?
J : You sure ? That is all right ? You sure you are not gonna make up any funny dares when i reach there ?
D : Yes, yes ! Faster ! Go on !
J : I’m going ! I’m going ! Don’t hurry me !
S : Ok, just go on. Dill and I will be right behind you !
( Jem go on and hesitated to open the gate. But, when he did, he ran to the house and tap it. He quickly ran back as quickly as possible. Scout and Dill followed him, but turned back. Then, they saw a shadow )
D : Dis you just see that ?
S : uh - huh ! ( nodding )
( They ran back quickly )
change of roles July 21, 2008
Posted by dawnyeow in Project Work.add a comment
ayuni will be Dill instead of Jem.
brandon will be Jem instead of Dill.
we decided to change the roles because Dill, described in the book is short. so since our group feels that brandon is “tall” to carry out Dill’s role, we decided to swap roles.

Reflections on our Presentation. July 10, 2008
Posted by sriayuni07 in Reflection.add a comment
Thanks Dawn, for starting the reflections and yes you are right. There are no failures, only feedback. Thus, we need to work on our ” feedbacks ” and make out presentation better !
Firstly, i think we did well explaining our process of the documentary, thus, i just want to say Congrats. However, i think we need to do better, in our presentation skills, for example, we should speak louder, clearer and not too fast. I think some of us lack this presentation skills.
We also did not do well as we did not edited our documentary when Ms Lim had commented that time. I think we should have edited it, but, because of lack of time and no more time to edit the video, we cannot really blame anyone, thus, next time, we should have finish our task earlier and so, can edit faster and let Ms Lim comment faster. Thus, this is a mistake, we should learn from.
Another reason we did not do well is because we lack of teamwork and time management. We lack of teamwork, as some of us prefer to do things their way and do not share their notes or opinions with other mates. We should not do this as this is a PROJECT WORK. Project means doing things with more than one people. Thus, i hope that those that you think you are not acting as a group, please buck up, and share your ideas with mates.
Time management is a problem that happens in all groups. It is something we cannot avoid. But, we can make it better and plan our time well. We should also finish all our tasks well, and also post frequent posts to keep this blog active and not dead.
Thus, starting from today onwards, I hope we can avoid this problems that we have. Members, please cooperate with me. If you have any inquiries please comment, if not, thank you. (:

taken from language arts blog:
1) What’s your project question /task and what is your understanding of this question?
my group was assigned to make a documentary about war heroines such as Lim Bo Seng, Force136, Elizabeth Choy and Adnan Saidi.
we understand that we need to explain the heroism of these ordinary people who risked their life against the Japanese.
2) How have you managed to answer this project question through the project research and work you have done?
normally, madeleine and weilian will do the research BUT if they need our help, the rest of the group members will definitely help them.

Going away. July 4, 2008
Posted by sriayuni07 in Project Work.2 comments
Hey members. I just want to inform you that me and Dawn are going camping today. We will be back tommorow night so, today and tomorrow, we are not available.
We can still do our presentation on Sunday and Monday. But, later, Madeleine will be posting the cue crads i wrote and uploading it in the blog. On Sunday, I will issue what slides you are presenting. Because there are only about 7-8 slides that we need present. So, maybe 1 person do 1-2 slides. But, i will issue it. Coz it would not be fair 1 person presents a short slide. ok ? So, on Sunday we will see.
Thats all. Byebye. Thanks.
On camera angles in the doccumentary July 3, 2008

For camera angles:
Dicussion made in the group:
Before we went to fort siloso, we had decided on the camera angles and positions we will use for taking our shots. In addition, we felt that every shot makes a difference in the result.
Example for this picture:
Camera angles used:
For pictures on canons:We used middle angle.
Angle and position: Low position and low angles.
Reason: To show the power of the canon and to be able to capture the canon in between an eye level angle.
2nd image taken:
Angle and position:
For capturing the view of sentosa.
To give a horizontalangle.
Shooting : From a high angle( eye level)and high position( faraway)
Reasons: To let the audience feel comfortable.
From a high angle: to create different eye level tone.
This is used for our introduction in the doccumentary. In addition, it will help to give our audience a clear image and information on our purpose of shoot and the venue of shooting.
Lastly, The place is quite shady and thus, it will also help us to control our light intensity used and exposure of light.
Images used in ending for doccumentary:
We used it as a horizontal long angle to end the video.

Reflections(research skills, history skills like analysing sources, inferring, mindmapping, organising, questioning sources etc, multiliteracies skills(english) such as planning movie, shooting, scripting, storyboarding) July 3, 2008
Posted by qihui94 in Project Work.1 comment so far
Reflections:
Wei Lian- After the lesson and the presentation by the other group, I think it is important to master the skill of the basic and applying the reasearch materials using different sources.
Ayuni- Mindmapping is to start from a small topic and answer the 5W 1H that is What, Who, When, Why, Where and How. From this small topic I would make more evaluation by asking these 6 questions. In history, the most important question to ask is ‘Why’?
Qi Hui- I should use the ‘PEEL’ method to answer the question. There are also two other useful methods we could use when doing our research; they are mindmapping and 5W1H.
Dawn- The hardest questions is the WHY question as the answerer must be able to elaborate on the answer and explain it well.
Brandon- I have also learnt how to film a movie through the different angles, distance and lighting. After the filming, I have also learnt how to edit a movie like mute the unwanted background noise.
Madeleine- I’ve learnt that we should not copy and paste as the information provided has copyright and it is called plagiarizing.
