Comic Strip: Dazed & Confused

Hi hi hi there!
  
   For this assignment, i worked with Sümeyra Balkan. We decided to make a comic strip and in the comic we had to use an idiom, but instead we used two! #Such rebels


   It is about a boy who decided to become a hippie, but his parents did not approved his decision so he moved out.I guess he couldn't find happiness and peace out there, so he immediately regrets his decision and wants to come back home.. But will his parents accept him? What do you think? Should they?
 
   The first idiom is 'out of the blue' which means without warning, unexpectedly. The other one is 'in a daze' which means unable to think clearly, confused. So this is our comic strip.

Evaluation of a "Webquest"



Konnichi wa minna-san. 
Ehm. Hello everyone. This is my evaluation of a webquest task. 
You can reach the webqust I evaluated from here
  
   Title is very relevant to the topic. Topic is about animes and the title is about being an "otaku".
For you, the description can seem not adequate but for me, as an "otaku" the description is adequate. But of course it is not detailed. Grade level range is appropriate too since the one below range is "9-12th" grade. Being otaku isn't just for the kids or teens. Keywords are relevant because being an otaku requires knowing those terms and keywords. 
  The introduction draws the reader into the topic. And answers nearly all the things about animes, I mean it describes animes perfectly; it describes animes the way that everybody can understand. The
task is very clear but it doesn't require synthesis of multiple sources of information. "It is simply collection of information." The process page is organized well. The resources are not stated. What this webquest lack is it doesn't have resources. Criteria for success are not described. I don't like the evaluation criteria because it is limited and requires specific talents like "drawing" "voice acting"...
   As for summary, conclusion is given, but I think it isn't detailed. There is no further message, idea or resources that encourage learners to extend their learning. The author can suggest anime films/series or cosplay conventions that they can join to extend their learning and understand how it feels being an otaku.

Wiki: My Favourite Book Project

Greetings!

This is my "My Favourite Book Project". I was absent when our topic was the wikis, that's why I initially thought that it would be hard to do. But when I followed the instructions, it became easier.

Podcast: A story of two rookie witches




In this project, I worked with Sümeyra Balkan. Actually at first we were going to go with a chant but though we wrote about 20 lines, we couldn't find the right melody. Actually this story came out with "deadline creativity". We know it includes some slang words but we wanted to be realistic and at the same time absurd. Ironic right? It is full of surprises. Sorry for the quality of the voice records but we really tried to do our best.

And finally, podcast is really useful and efficient. But I think visuality is more efficient.
