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.

SCRATCH GAME:

Criteria C- Week 2- 24 & 35 April

During this week I worked on 2 pages and finished the "About Page".
Finally, the About Page consisted of a video with famous places under the gallery, then a slide with pictures of famous french food and the names of the dishes on the other side.
TECHNIQUES USED IN ABOUT PAGE:
I used the slide, a gallery, a table, my own images, a video that was embedded ed by me using the "Video" option.
The About Page:

I also worked on the greetings page, and it's subpages. The page itself consisted of a marble slide with the main title, then the names of the sub pages and links to all of them. The techniques I used were a slide and linking to other pages. This was also edited in the navigation section

Navigation Menu:

The greetings page:

For the Writing of the greetings I used a different colored background, and columns as my technique, I played around with a lot of fonts too.
For the Pronunciation page, i made a video using a new app, then proceeded to put it on YouTube, then embedded it onto the website
For the Game page, i decided to make a quiz on Kahoot so the students can play using their phones or other devices as groups to provide motivation and competition, I then embedded this onto Wix using the HTML code.

Alphabet Pages:

Criteria C- Week 1- 17 & 18 April

During this week, from the French department, we were made aware of the new criteria which would require us to make more than two topics (as oppose to before when we did one or two). This meant that I had to re-plan the content for the website and that is what I did on the 17th. Following is the new layout that I intend to do:

I think that this lesson was very productive because I intended to adhere to this plan completely as it was very organized and thought through, I would like to make minimal changes to the layout when I work on the website and focus more on the content and design aspect.

During the second lesson of the week, I started to make the actual website, in this lesson, I could make the whole home page, the menu bar (navigation) and I started the about page. The home page I made consisted of a bag round of mountains, large black and bold font saying the title and a quote, I also included the title in French in a smaller and less bold font. This title is very clear thus following my specification. When I started the "About page" I made a large gallery, which had 3 colors, one talking about me and the website (purpose), then a picture of the Eiffel tower and the third column with the writing in French. This simplified the use of the website and tells the reader what he/she must do to use it.
