Hello everyone, Batin here. This time my assignment was to create a magazine cover. I have used Canva, an online software, to design my cover page. I have decided to choose the theme of it to be related with cartoons. I like cartoons ever since I have started watching them. Growing up did not change the habit. Without a further ado here is my magazine cover.

This week we had to choose an option from the three given tasks: create a digital story, create a PSA, create a how to project. At first I have chosen to do a PSA, I have decided on the subject as "Corona" since it's the most popular thing right now. I have found some footage and edited them, I've put a background music and a voice-over. Sadly it did not come out as I expected, so I had to scratch that idea and start a new project. This time I chose to do a how to video. I knew what I was going to show, origami. I have been doing origami for several years now. I have filmed the process with an overhead projector, edited them on a software, added voice-overs and voila it was perfect. Here is my How to video If I have the chance in the future I would definitely give my students some sort of similar task, it helps to improve productivity, motivates the student, enhances the language skills.

This week's task was to create a film review. For the task I have chosen the best movie that I have watched so far, it's name is "It" movie adaptation of a famous Stephen King's novel. While creating the film review I had to remember the movie in detail, in order to remunerate the movie. I have looked up the IMDB page to see the cast, writers, and the director. Recalling the movie was an incredible trip. It reminded me how I love that movie and I have to watch it's second movie sometime. If you are interested in horror movies or want to try one, I definitely recommend you to read my review. To read the review, click  here .
