Ben Philips and Templeton

My reflection on last week's time at Templeton. Well I spent the entire time helping Ben Philips. He had his story nearly completed so we worked on that at first. I typed his story in word because he had typed it in paint and because I would do it faster. We then went through the movie check-list to see what we still needed to get done. He had all his sounds ready; I just helped him get them organized. He still needed to get some pictures which were a problem to find because he needed bloody-type pictures for his zombies. But I convinced him that he could just use some that were already on the website. We then got his narrative recorded and then moviemaker started. I got his pictures in place and his sounds....but not his narrative. We ran out of time to complete that part of his movie. But I think Ben worked hard on his project; he just needed a little encouragement because if I did not say anything for a while he would go off on tangents and look at other stuff. Kinda makes me think of Andrew's blog in that if kids do not have one on one supervision, they look at other things on the computer.
