Animated Narratives - week 12

by Xile Qiu（Celine）

Class summary：

This week we reviewed the elements we have studied this semester (time, light, characters, etc...).We first launched our wiki in channel. Then our team chose a favorite wiki and created it in chronological order. Finally, in class, we chose our favorite elements to make mind maps.

Story: 

In the Story discussed by the group, I added my own ideas and changed it again.

1. The little boy is flying a kite by the lake.
2. The little boy found golden shells.
3. The boy brought the glass bottle to collect the golden shells.
4. Other passers-by saw golden shells.
5. Word got around and people in the town came to collect shells.
6. The news that there were gold shells near the lake was soon known to the merchant. The merchant came with a digger to dig for shells.
7. Day after day, the lake was drained. The gold shells were picked up clean.
8. Eventually, without the care of the lake, the shells turn to carbon.

Through my story, I want to express the theme is not to destroy the ecological environment because of money and greed. In group work, I set up shells as objects that could be used as currency. But the story lacks meaning. So through feedback, I changed the story to the current version.
