How to make a Video - Workshop at The Mackay School

Last Monday, in our multimedia room in the library, Xzavian Cookbey, Student of Film in the Santa Fe University of Arts and Design, gave a workshop focused on "How to make a documentary video" using the tools available in our school.

The workshop was theoretical and practical, and 10 people participated: 8 students, Mr. Gonzalo Sherrington (Designer) and Ms. María Mercedes Yeomans (Teacher-Librarian). The topics were Lighting, Framing and Interviewing. After the instruction, students were able to practice with the cameras of The Mackay School and apply what they learnt in a practical task. Xzavian said:

"The workshop was very helpful and informative for the students. They showed that they understood and that everything was helpful, when they worked in groups to apply the few skills I had taught them in that hour together. I was very impressed with their effort as a group." "They all exhibited an interest to learn the useful skills needed in order to make this project great. Some of them had and idea of how to achieve an insightful film before entering the room, but they were willing to learn. That is the foundation to any great project."

Xzavian shared some useful videos with the students, including some of his personal work to show the B Roll technique and some framing tips.

How to Take Care of Library Books

Little Readers

This week, 1st grades received their Library Cards in a very special activity in the Junior Area.  Boys were taught about the most important rules in the library and applied them.

1. Read in silence or whisper if you need to ask a question or make a comment.
2. Use one book at a time
3. Sit to read
4. Return books to the same place you took them from
5. Take care of books

The library is a place for reading and studying, and we need to respect each other's concentration.

Multiple Skills

Rabbit and Turtle started talking about the race last week. Rabbit wanted to have a new opportunity to win, now he wanted to do his best effort. That is why Peter organized a new competition, but, this time, more animals were invited: Rabbit, Turtle, Giraffe and Elephant.

They were all good at different things, and they all thought they were better than the other. But at the end, they learnt that everybody is good at something different, because different people have different abilities.

ARTICLE: MORAG STYLES IN CHILE

Morag Styles, from the University of Cambridge, has referred to children's literature education in an interview for El Mercurio today's edition.

Being member of the International Research Society of Children´s Literature, she probably knows a lot about what it is or it is not useful for children in libraries.

Morag principal activities are research and teaching. She researches in areas related to the academic study of children's literature.

On April 13^th, Styles was an exponent in the conference “Teaching English for the Future”, organized by the ABSCH (Association of British Schools in Chile).  Her subjects were:

•    The power of poetry: Words and sounds.

•    Reviving Shakespeare for young people.

•   The potential of picture books for kids.

In the newspaper, she says that Chile needs to take advantage of the poetic potential of the country. Morag thinks that the use of this kind of material is not common because, sometimes, teachers do not feel qualified in this area. One of the steps to follow, in order to exploit our resources in poetry, is to stop believing poetry is ruled by any kind of norms. It is much more related to emotions.

Maybe that is why, she also says, classic stories, such as Cinderella, are still valid when we work with children's emotions, for example, the feeling of surprise. - MMYC
