On the 19th of November my group presented our genre project. We chose to do multi-cultural literature as our genre. At first I really wanted to do our presentation on Martina the beautiful cockroach however, I was persuaded to do Tikki Tikki Tembo a Chinese folktale. For our presentation we retold the story of Tikki Tikki Tembo using an awesome background and pictured stick puppets. For our background music we googled free Chinese music and found the perfect song. Our group met on several occasions and did a lot of planning on who would do what. The day that we videoed we took hours to do one complete run-through of the story without laughing. After we had a complete video I got to use Movie Maker to make the movie. For added fun we added bloopers and out-takes. Overall we had an awesome time completing this project. I feel like the outcome of our presentation was great.
After we presented Tikki Tikki Tembo I played the unabridged version on Martina the beautiful cockroack. Visit the link below to learn more about this character and the author Carmen Agra Deedy.
