This is my personal project presentation :)

1. Cartoon Storybook for Children
By Nop Snidvongs

2. Topic
 My topic is to create a storybook basing on dead zones
 I chose this topic because I think this issue is
becoming more serious because the size of dead zones
are increasing everyday

3. AOI
 The AOI that I chose is environmental which means
that I have to develop awareness as an independence
about the environment which will understand and
accept the responsibilities
 I think my personal project fits with this AOI because
my topic is about raising awareness about one of the
major ocean issues

4. Goal
 The goal from my personal project is to raise awareness
of the ocean issue "dead zones" by creating a cartoon
storybook for children

5. Specifications
 The storybook must be
suitable for those that are 8
years old and below
 The product must raise
awareness for children
about dead zones
 The cover of the book must
be able to grab the reader’s
attention
 The product must
successfully change the
audience perspective about
dead zones
 The restrictions of the
product is to not use
photographs that are not
suitable for children
 Photographs will be drawn
not copied from the internet
(no plagiarizing)
 Should not use more than
3000 baht
 Words in each page will be
very simple and clear

6. Selecting Sources
Websites
 How Stuff works
 Wiki How
 Gulfpreserve.org
Books
 Books from B2S and Kinokuniya
 The Giving Tree
Articles
 Advantages and Disadvantages of reading
 Importance of children literacy
Videos

7. Most Important
First website: Wikihow
 Gave me guidelines on how to write a good storybook
(Step by Step)
 Steps are concise making it easy to follow
 Help me develop plan for storybook
Articles: Advantages and Disadvantages of Reading
 Understanding the benefits and limitations of reading
 Develop further ideas

8. Most Important
Second information: How Stuff Works
 Gave me basic information about dead zones
 Guide me through the researching process
 Help develop plan
 Provide statistics
Video: Youtube – NASA in the zone
 Showed how dead zones are formed (factors)
 Provide images to help understanding

9. Applying Information
 Know what is required in the storybook
 Simple steps of how to form a storybook
 Understanding the facts
 The expectations for a storybook
I decided the story will have some real facts mixed with
unreal to allow the reader to imagine further. The characters
development protagonist = boy antagonist = animal under
the sea (most preferably fish/crab) and dead zones

10. Achieving the Goal
 Describe where you are up to in creating your
product/outcome.
 I am up to the part where I am beginning to create my
final storybook where I am also researching about
different techniques to apply in drawing
 I will have to complete my drawing, coloring, and the
wordings

11. Example: Brainstorm

12. What I have done so far

13. Reflecting on Learning
 Briefly assess your ATL skills. Which are strengths
(and how do you know) and which are skills you need
to develop further (and how do you plan to do this)?

14. Organization
 Strength: The plan, research and the story outline is
well organized and easy to follow
 Weakness: My time management where I am falling a
little bit behind schedule
How do I plan to achieve this?
 By printing out the timeline and stick it on my desk
 Plan ahead with descriptions in more detail

15. Information Literacy
 Strength: Most of the research has been completed
with source evaluation (reliable sources)
 Strength: Uses variety of sources such as websites,
videos, articles and books
 Weaknesses: More research still needs to be done
along the creating process
How I plan to do this?
 Spend more time while creating to have more time for
researching

16. Thinking & Reflecting
 Strength: Have brainstorm (outline plan)
 Strength: Have Storyboard for the creation
 Strength: Have specifications to reflect on the
storyboard
 Weakness: Little reflections on my learning process
How I plan to improve this?
 Spend more time reflecting on what I have done/learnt
 Do more research on different learning processes

17. What I have learnt so far
 BEST – START DRAWING
 MOST INTERESTING – Different techniques of
drawing and how to form a storybook
 MOST USEFUL – Guidelines on the steps that are
required in-order to create a storybook, different
drawing techniques. Lastly to know the children likes
and dislikes in storybooks which can later on be apply
to the creation
