Term 3- multi language website (inter-disciplinary unit with FML)

Statement of inquiry: Designers must consider the multiple cultural perspectives in communicating effectively by way of language to suit the need of the end users.

Task: To create a multicultural website

Target audience: Grade 7 students

Introduction:  I am a student of French for 1 year. I started studying French in 8th grade in term 2, since that was the period that I arrived at. I am gong to create a website for the year 7 students about how to  learn French online. This website is going to include a lot of different topics such as the months of the year, the days of the week, the numbers (1-50) and the last topic that we are going to educate about is going to be about the family and different family members. I am going to work in a pair for this website project together with Jisang Kim. Me and Jisang Kim have decided that we are going to ask questions in French and and give them multiple choices of answers for them to choose the correct one. For the colors we are going to paint clouds in specific colors, then we will tell them to find a specific colour by selecting one of the correct clouds. This will be the same for the rest of the topics. They well be told a story or a meaning where they have to select a correct answer in the multiple choice columns. So the website is going to include pictures and text for the year 7 students to encourage them to learn online on modern technology. There are ready made tools that enable you to create a website such as wix , weebly etc... There are web authoring software like Dreamweaver that enable you to design your own website from scratch. I have tried dream weaver and this is my first task about me.

Reflection: For this unit I have found it very hard to work with the website. It has been very confusing and babe to understand. Also with all of the noise in the class it is very hard to concentrate and and listen to the instructions that are given! To create a website has been very hard and tuff. To figure out all of the buttons and meaning and how to smoke things or add thing on to the website has been very confusing so therefor I think that this unit is going to be challenging and interesting.
