Hello everyone, Almost everything has been finalised in my story. Only the info about the creators (Author and illustrator) is missing and I need to have a professional picture taken of me and my daughter, Evita (the illustrator), but I won't have the pic until mid November :(. Re the font type - I used Arial. Should I change to Times New Roman? I hope you can find a few minutes to write a comment on this almost-final draft of my story. I have a question: as you know Evita has done the illustrations, but the background was a bit greyish. I asked a graphic designer friend of mine to whiten the background for me and to do a few minor tweaks. I would like to ask her in the future to help me with the next books in the series, too. I like giving credit where the credit is due - where could I mention Stella's name? https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i1oWSFC_8YNVQq0o9OyIj0wYQMGjDlh1
Also still view only. Image is the same as I posted for the chapter. Location of the button differs on different devices, On a computer, look for a button that says "share". When you click on it you get this pop up. Click where it says "can view" and you'll get drop down menu that offers a choice -- choose "can comment". Then click "done" to save your changes. On an iPad, you'll clik on the green link icon in the side menu, and again, choose 'comment'. Or you can click on 'share and export' and change there. Hidden in different places, but basically they all start with 'share'. Hope this helps!

Sorry Barbara, i think i've got it now...Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteHi Gemma, I just had a quick look, but I'm a bit confused about the objective. How is it DIY? Or different in some way? (Also, is there anything specific you'd like us to look at?) Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Kate, this is probably something I should have included in the introduction if it's not obvious! :) It's called DIY because teachers would not need to rely on any textbook or pre-prescribed syllabus when including pronunciation - something most do at present. The text will provide a range of diagnostic 'tools' which, when used, will determine what teachers should include and tips on how to then integrate pronunciation content based on the students' results. As such, everything teachers decide to include in their lessons re: pronunciation is based on the actions they take themselves independently. I did play around with the title along the lines of 'Personalised Pronunciation Practice' but i went with the name DIY to reflect the inclusion of diagnostic tools, but this could still change. Any feedback on the clarity of the process as described in the intro chapter would be most welcome :)
ReplyDeleteGemma Archer Gotcha! Many thanks for the outline (you reminded me to explain mine for others, too!) I'll take a look, hopefully at the weekend, as today I'm trying to keep writing mine. (BTW, I'm a huge fan of Adrian Underhill's work, which is mostly about feeling / touching your muscles and face when making sounds, as well as introducing all the sounds in one go. Have you seen a video by him? Would you like a link or are you comfortable with where you're going?)
ReplyDeleteI'm very familiar with Adrian Underhill, we move in similar circles ; ) But thanks!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! I’m a huge fan of his :)
