A Must-watch Animation Movie: Grave of the Fireflies
After a long break welcome back everyone! I hope you all have been well since we met in my last post!
Today, as you can guess from the title, we have a film review project. In this project, we were supposed to create groups of 3 people, decide on a movie and than write a review for the film by collaboratively using Google Docs, then send the review for peer feedback and also provide a feedback for another group. In the review part there is an introduction paragraph talking about the general characteristics of the movie. We have a summary paragraph, a detailed review part focusing on some of the key aspects of the movie and lastly, an overall opinion and recommendation part.
I think collaborative writing can be a really successful tool in education when it is used properly. By proper, I mean when the group members collab harmoniously, with communicating clearly and well with each other. Writing together with others can help us to see various opinions and perspectives which can improve our vision. While working on this project, from deciding on a movie to writing each paragraph, we always asked each group member's opinions and thus had a clear path on how to do the project. All of us had a similar amount of workload and this made it fair and helped the easy flow of the process.
Lastly, in my opinion using Google Docs as a collaborative tool helped us in many ways. As it is not so complex and has a simple design, working on it was not hard. Being able to work at the same time and seeing the changes made by other members easily without having the need to ask them about the each update all the time is also pretty time saving. Overall, this was an enjoyable project and helped us to learn writing collaboratively with others.
