Some mates has commented that they had problems to view this task. I post it again....
* We divided the
class in four groups of five members each (the groups for this month). Every group had to print
one copy of the script in the school´s printer.
*Each group had to work with a different part of the text (scene):
Group one (Represented by Claudia) – Part one (Until it says: “ANTONINUS
Yes, that’s fair.”)
Group two (Represented by Duna) – Part two (Until it says: “ADDEDO We used to be a powerful tribe in
Britain, like the Iceni. But Boudicca, you should see us now. We’re slaves to
these Romans. They steal, they cheat, they kill.”)
Group three (Represented by Pablo) – Part three (Until it says: “SUETONIUS Neither have I, Antoninus,
neither have you! Just go and tell the men that Suetonius orders them to
attack. If we get rid of these druids, we’ll have the whole of this island
under proper control. Under proper control!”)
Group four (Represented by Carmelo) – Part four (Until it says: “NARRATOR
Boudicca was a very strong woman, but she knew she was taking on the powerful
Roman Empire. And very few people had ever done that and won.”)
*After
reading carefully the text every group had to divide it´s part of the script in
different underscenes and draw an illustration of every underscene (with
image and words). They had to take into account that
watching and reading every underscene must allow the reader to follow the plot
of the story.
[I gave them a CLUE: Pay attention to the action verbs. They will help you to divide the scene into underscenes]
*They had to scan all
the illustrations with the class printer and create a comic joining the
illustrations of the different groups together through Microsoft Powerpoint
(installed in the class PC)
* Finally they had to published
the comic with Slideshare internet free software through an account created
with the class´ email, and create a new post with the link in the class´ blog.
[Here you can see a sample of one part of the comic]
