Team chant:

You get a taste it isn’t enough To eat your fill you need the stuff You think you're there about to land But is the trip just what you planned You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success You're gambling like everyone Who cares who wins you're having fun And you'll be back another day You think you'll win next time you play You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success You check your hand you're looking good You see a path within the wood She beckons you what can you do But follow her to somewhere new You're falling, yes you're falling You're falling, yes you're falling For the sweet smell of success.

Blog 1: Monday, 29th November 2010

Today, on our first day of the transition week Issa, Elie and myself Jad made a group of three named IJE. Our group number is 13 and this is the first time we work together as a group. Each one of us has different ideas and abilities, we can make a good team together because each one of us has different abilities. During the day we completed a series of small tasks to get us ready to plot and storyboard our movie or video on success. Our team is ready for any tasks coming and we believe we can get to the top if we work hard. Maybe we're not the best, but by working together we can be the best!!

Also we have started to **** organise **** a short movie about "Success". We have done a mind map which includes Product and Process. In the product we talked about what the movie is going to be about. In the process we talked about what each one of us is going to do and what are we going to use to make the movie. We will always do our best no matter what the task is about. **

Today, we have planed what to do in the film and everything is going alright in our team. We always hand in our work on time. We've done pretty much work on our plan for the film and our story is pretty good and it happens in life. We are working well together as a team and doing all our work. Each one of us has something to do to get our film done and I believe it is going to be a good story about "Success". I have learnt a lot about how to make photos look good and add stuff to the photos and i have learnt how to work as a team. Also I've learnt a lot from the challenges and buzz off, which includes spelling, writing, drawing, planing and working on the comupters. THANKS FOR THE TEACHERS!!!! :)

Our day started by continuing yesterday’s tutorials. Issa went to iMovie, Jad went to Photographic and Digital media, and I went to the Research group. During the first period, we learnt about citation machine and we learnt about another website called BibMe. After the tutorials period, we worked on copyright. Each one in the group had a different sheet and all we had to do was to read and right a feedback. After lunch, we started to work on our presentation. Each on of us started to do different work. I was doing some researches that help us to finish the presentation. Jad was in charge to edit images on Photoshop, Issa was on iMovie adding pictures and music that suits with our planned video.
