Peer Reflection

WEBSITE PEER EVALUATION:

Joudei:
7 overall- Well organized, could have been more of her work- using a video made by her. Could have varied between types of games, other than quizlets. Could have used more techniques like slideshows, images, or galleries.

Lyoma:
6 overall, need to add more activities and information, but very uniformed and well organized.
Racha:
7 overall, an informative website with all the required content for the correct target audience, could have been more innovative when choosing activities to make them more engaging.
Tanisha:
6 overall, a well set out website but the content was of a high level thus breaking the criteria. Could have made the videos with pronunciation herself to show technical skills.
Safiyah:

5 overall, website was well organized but she could include more information, she needs to make her games/activities more unique (one was clearly plagiarized by myself).

Criteria C-Gantt Chart



Gantt chart reflection:
Looking at my Gantt chart for the project i can see that my work was well laid out and i made sure to complete one thing before starting another. I also realized that i did some part of the project in class but a lot of it was based at home, and it was a very time taking project because as this chart show i worked after school on school nights and on weekends because i wanted to complete this to the best of my caliber. I think for this i took 20 hours all together which is very large, so i think to improve my organization further i should work more productively in the lessons as that would reduce the time i would work on this away from school. I think i was organized because when i came to lesson i had all my content in french ready in my books or from the internet so i didn't waste too much time. There were times in lessons when i had issues and i would have to restart something or watch a tutorial before doing it, this took time but it was worth it because the work i have produced was good. Over all i think i have spread my tasks through the time period effectively.



MORE CRITERIA A,B, AND C REFLECTIONS CAN BE FOUND ON THE OLDER PAGE BUTTON PAGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BLOG

Criteria C- Week 5- 8 & 9 May

During these lessons, i finished one more page and did the final editing of the website. I finished the Months Page which had a marble slide, then the writing on a sub-page which was in the form of a slideshow with a picture, the name of the month in English and French and a festival to go with each month. Then the Video I made had the pronunciation of those months, and it was also embedded. The game I made was using Wix quizzes.





I also added final touches like fixing any links or changing the names of any thing that weren't accurate. Next week I intend on going and getting the website checked by my french teacher for linguistic mistakes and then to Ms. Veena for any comments and feedback that I could do before finally publishing it.

Criteria C-Week 4- 1 & 2 May

During this week I completed another two pages from my website, I finished the Members of the Family page. The main page was a marble gallery, The writing page was more innovative, this was a picture gallery with the name of the member and when the mouse was held over it, a picture showed up. This is very interactive and though it took time to edit it will add a very professional but creative aspect to the page. The pronunciation was a video exported externally and embedded, I had to trim and edit the volume and duration of this video before I uploaded it though. The game page was an Audio Comprehension, in this, i was talking about three people that described their families, the under it I inserted a quiz that had questions about the people.






The colours page was a little different, I included all 3 pages into one page, I first included a gallery with the colour then the English and french spelling. Under it I put a video that was embedded from outside, then under it I put another Quizlet that would allow many games, audio and flashcards. To insert it into the website i used the HTML code.



Scratch Codes

Following are examples of 1 of the codes i used to make the game:
THERE ARE MANY MORE THAN THESE



Criteria C- Week 3- 29&30 April

During this week I was able to complete two more main pages. The first one I completed was the numbers page. the main page again used the marble gallery with links, then the writing page consisted of tables with the numbers, these were images. Then a simple gallery with 3 images to add to the simple design, the images helped in adding color. The pronunciation was a video (not made by me) with an elaborate background to compliment the empty feel of the page. The game I decided to do was a quizlet. To make this I made a quizlet withs simple flashcards from french to English numbers, then when I produced it I found that with that one set of translations Quizlet made many games too. So I decided to embed this into my website usingHTML code options on Wix.








I also worked on the "Days Page", The main page again the same, then a writing page in which I used a sliding image gallery, and under it a column with the days in English and then in French. For the pronunciation, I made a video and recorded my voice at home then embedded it onto the website using the YouTube option. For the game I made a scratch, with a matching game, the codes are below. Then I made a small reading comprehension about activities that students do on each day and followed a Wix quiz about the paragraph.
