GLOGSTER

   I worked with Yunus Emre Demiray for this project. We read the notes and watched the video about the "1984".This is a novel by George Orwell.Then we designed a propoganda poster of the Party and tried to manipulate people in Ocenia. Also,we added images. This project was very entertaining for me. I liked glogster very much because it is very vivid.

WEBSITE PROJECT

This is my website project. For doing this, I worked with my partner, Emre Demiray.I am very appreciated with him.We chose an interview with a celebrity,Morgan FREEMAN and listened it.After understanding record,we wrote an article.To be honest, it is the most difficult project for me because I listened native speakers and  they spoke very fast.To understand the record, I listened it a lot of times by taking notes. I noticed that listening skills are very important and I could develop my listening skill thanks to this project.

                MORGAN FREEMAN

Francine Stock arranged an interview with Morgan Freeman about his film “Invictus”. Morgan Freeman told about the process of film, the conditions that South Africans live and the situation of Nelson Mandela who is the real person he plays.

The interviewer begins the interview with presenting Freeman and continues talking about him by referring to his achievements. She says that “Morgan Freeman nominated for the Academy Awards for best actor in the leading role”. After that, she begins to talk the film “Invictus” about how Mandela joins forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team to help unite their country. She also talks about John Carlin who is the author of the book that the film is depended on.

First question is about how Morgan Freeman is offered this film’s idea. In return of her question, Freeman tells her all process. In this process, John Carlin repurposes the book and mentions him about the film in a dinner. Also, he adds that the film is an inspiring true story and completed in three years.

Second question is about that the interviewer wonder whether he make an approach to spend much time to observe Nelson Mandela or not? Freeman states he doesn’t make a special approach. According to him, whenever possible, they come together where they are and Freeman do informative talks to him. Also, Freeman adds that while he is talking, Mandela just listens to him motionlessly. But he thinks Mandela gives his talks attention completely.

Another question is related with the most interesting thing that Freeman find in Mandela’s life. Freeman states that although he is a father of the country, he is not happy about his life. His family life is not very well.

As a fourth question, the interviewer asks what Mandela thinks about the film. Although he does not say “I like it”, Freeman thinks he likes it. Because he recognizes his moments and smiles while watching film. Plus, Freeman confesses that while watching the film, Mandela falls asleep for a while. But Freeman gives him a pass and understands him. Because Mandela is 91 years old and has not enough stamina.

The last question is associated with the real picture displayed with a happy end in the film. Freeman says the real picture is more complicated that what displayed in “Invictus”. It does not solve South Africans’ problems, it represents just possibilities.

Finally, if we were the interviewer, we would like to ask Freeman those following questions;

1) Does “Invictus” have any effect on your attitude towards Mandela?

2) What was your strategy if you were Nelson Mandela?

Webquest Project

For the  webquest project, I followed and applied tasks with my friends; Ceylan Dumanlı and Yunus Emre Demiray.Then, we created a fable and share it on our blog pages.

THE BEAR AND THE SQUIRREL

   Once upon a time, there were a bear and a squirrel in a big forest near the river.One day, the mother squirrel and her baby went to the side of the river for picking some walnuts. While the mother squirrel was climbing the tree, her baby fell down to the river suddenly. The mother squirrel began to scream for helping.

    Incidentally, a bear heard the squirrel’s screaming, run to the river and rescued her baby. The mother squirrel became very happy and said that: “Thank you very much. You rescued my baby. If you need help one day, I will help you, too. I promise”. The bear laughed and said that:”You little squirrel, how can you help me? I am very big and powerful and you are just weak, small animal”. And then the bear went to his way.

    Two days later, the bear was caught in a trap and began to crying. The mother squirrel heard his crying and went to help him. The squirrel arrived near him, nibbled the rope of the trap and rescued him. The bear said that:”I am very upset for my humiliating remarks. I apologize for my rude behavior. Thank you so much”.

     After that day, the bear respected every animal and didn’t scorn them.


MORAL: Being powerful doesn't mean to overcome everything.
