Animation apps and things
Here is a list of good, free apps for iphones and android users.
I recommend that you do a quick test with the app you choose before shooting all your scenes and realizing at the end that there is a problem.
For example, try shooting a movement of 10 images and save that as a scene. Then do a second sequence of 10 images and save that as a scene. Then see what you need to do to connect the separate scenes and add sound.
I can't be more specific than that because each app is a bit different, but from what I have seen and tested, they are very intuitive and easy to use.
Look at each of the apps to decide which one you want to use.
for iphone users:
ENJOY!

logbook guide
The logbook
You must keep a
logbook, which consists of writing about your working process at home
for this class. To begin, this will consist in writing about your
reading and your reflections about reading.
When we have
finished The Cowards, your
logbook will be about research and project building.
To
help you begin your logbook, I am giving you the questions that we
use in the reading club to help readers keep a reading logbook. You
should begin to appropriate the questions so that when you read you
naturally answer these questions.
After
each time you read write down all of your thoughts about the book.
Write
or draw everything that comes to you.
To
begin more easily you can begin with these phrases:
Today, I
read the passage in which...
I ask
myself...
If I was...
I think...
I believe...
I find...
I would like
to know...
I imagine...
I looked
for...
The images
that stay with me are...
The words
that come back to me are...
What
surprises me is...
What I don't
understand is...
What I find
shocking is...
It makes me
think of...
You
can add drawings, maps, sketches, photos that you took because your
reading inspired you to take them...
You
can recopy segments that you particularly enjoyed.
At
the beginning of each entry you need to write the date and the pages
read.
Remember,
you need to write ½ an A4 page per week (or an A5 page).

One last post for the night:
Here is a link that our teaching correspondent sent us about Prague.

The city that the school is in is called Vysoké Myoto. Here is the school web page:
https://gvmyto.edupage.org/blog5/?bid=blog5&lang=cz
Many students live in the neighboring town of Litomysl. Here is a link for images of that city:
