12 Week

It's Story Time

I would say this week is fun as we were given the chance to create our E-book. So, what is E-book? What do you think? Usually people will relate "E" with technology and "E-book" would probably be Technology Book. Well, you are partially correct that "E-book" is a technology book. E-book is some kind of electronic book where we teachers can create a story using technology tools. It is an electronic version of a printed book. With this, Pn Foziah asked us to use MS Power Point to produce a story. In order to create a good E-book, the story must have beginning, rising action, climax, falling action and finally ending. With these 4 elements then only we can say that it is a good story.



With this in mind, My partner Jen sen and I discussed with each other what type of story we should choose. After a brainstorming session, we decided to choose a fairy tale from Walt Disney - Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs. Why we have chosen this story? We thought that this story consists of the 4 elements which I had mentioned earlier and the story is interesting. We thought that children will definitely like it.




After we had done the selection of story, it's the time to download pictures from the internet and organise the story line. We need to look for pictures of Snow White, Prince Charming, Evil Queen, Ugly Witch, The Seven Dwarfs, forest, animals and etc. After we had found the pictures, we tried to put the pictures into the power point slides according to the story line. After that, together we discussed and added in the animation and transitions for the pictures. We were actually having fun while adding animation to the pictures as we can actually make the characters look like they are walking and the birds are flying. It's cool and fun. Besides, we also put in some sound effect like bird chirping, the dancing music of the seven dwarfs, the crying sound effect and the wedding symphony to the story.

Below are a few snapshots of our E-book "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs"

Here are the characters in "Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs"

The castle where the King, Queen and Snow White live in.

Snow White had grown up to be a beautiful girl.

Oh no, Snow White ate the poison apple given by the witch!

Luckily, Snow White was saved by the Prince Charming.

Overall, my partner and I were very happy and satisfied with our end product. This course had really taught us a lot of technological skill.
