Modules: how to improve my expression

http://www.fairybox.org/celest14.jpgHey,

 

today in small groups, you had to work on how to improve your written expression and particularly the use of adjectives.

You need to be creative and use as many comparisons as possible. When this is done, you need to select the best adjectives / comparisons that correspond to your characters' physical and moral portrait.

 

Then, you had to work on dialogues and typical cues in a fairy tale. Don't forget to vary your speech verbs according to the feelings of your characters.

 

HW: for Monday May 3rd, you need to have completed everything from narrative to dialogue. You also need to get your illustrations ready and send me a collective email so that I can help you correct and improve your presentations. Your ebooks (including pictures and sounds) will have to be ready by May 18th (group 1) and May 20th (group 2). If you have any questions or problems, feel free to send me an email.

<br /> Voici notre travail sur le conte (avec un peu de retard , il était long à taper)<br /> Once upon a freezing day there was a ungrateful little Russian bad girl. Everyone who saw her in the village of Makhachkala hate her, but most of all her grandmother, who didn’t know what to give<br /> the child next in order to make her angry. Once she gave her a little cap made of irritating greeny-yellow wool . Because it suited her so well and also because buying clothes was too expansive,<br /> her mother wanted her to wear it all the time. Then she came to be known as Little Pooh of Goose’s Cap.<br /> One day her mother said to her, "Come Little Pooh of … Sorry , I wanted to say , Bogdana .<br /> -No I won’t , you stupid cow ! said the Little Pooh of Goose’s Cap in a grumpy voice. She hated her grandmother and how lazy she was !<br /> - Bloody daughter ! You’ll go there ! Here are bottles of vodka. Take them to your grandmother , now ! She is cold and weak, and they will do her well ; you know she is a drunkard . Mind your<br /> manners and give her my greetings even if it get on your nerves. Behave yourself on the way, I don’t want have spending all those bottles’ money for nothing ! Don’t leave the path, or you might<br /> fall down and break the bottles, and then I will be leaded to sell you , stupid girl!" yelled her mother with a great Russian tone.<br /> Finally , the Little Pooh of Goose’s Cap obey to her mother. The grandmother lived out in the woods, a half hour from the village. When Little Red Cap entered the village a wolf came up to her. She<br /> did not know what a wicked animal he was, and was not afraid of him. He was the Nit Fit Wolf.<br /> “YOU ! Move from there you’re blocking my road." shouted violently the Little Pooh of Goose’s Cap.<br /> "Oh hum what ?" said the wolf who have his head in the clouds. You talked to me ?<br /> “ Yeah ! MOVE ON NOW !” screamed the Little Pooh of Goose’s Cap.<br /> “Ah … Ok … sorry. I’m sorry… I’ll do what you want me to do , I didn’t wanted to make you angry against me …” replied the wolf in a weak voice. He was sad those days , he didn’t found anything to<br /> eat. And he can’t eat little girl because he was too nice.<br /> The Little Pooh of Goose’s Cap had an idea. She always wanted to have the opportunity to take her revenge on her Grandmother. So she decided to take it.<br /> “Wait a minute Mr Wolf. Do you want to eat the best meal you ever eat in your life ? I can help you if you want."<br /> “ Really ? Yes I want!” He exclaimed in a happy voice.<br /> “ I swear that I know where there is a grandmother you could eat. But listen and apply exactly what I’m going to tell you …<br /> The wolf ran straight to the grandmother's house and knocked on the door.. The little Pooh of Gooses’ Cap told him that she will me be there with the drunk grandmother.<br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> Thanks for sending in your text even though it did arrive a little late.<br /> You know you also had to digitalize your illustrations and send them to me by mail as an attachment.

<br /> I don't understand what we have to do for Monday, 3rd. And what do you mean when you say that our ebooks must include SOUNDS.<br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> Hi Juliette,<br /> <br /> <br /> with the people who were not on a trip the last week of classes, we did some work, specifically on adjectives.<br /> <br /> <br /> What I would like your groups to do is to gather all the information you have and send me one collective email with the first draft of your entire fairy tale before the end of Monday so that I<br /> have time to correct mistakes if needed.<br /> <br /> <br /> As for the "sound" part, I will explain it to you later again. But the ebook that you will create will need to include the reading of the fairy tale, i.e. sounds = your voice. I'll explain to you<br /> how to do this if you don't know how.<br /> <br /> <br /> Is that clearer now? or you still need further explanations?<br /> <br /> <br /> BTW, sorry for answering late but I was on vacation... : )<br /> <br /> <br />  <br /> <br /> <br /> Take care,<br /> <br /> <br /> M. Hattais.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
