Far from the final piece. Lost in research. Research on reports of kids reading (Marie Clay).
What causes kids (aged 8-11) stop reading?
Approach stories in a way in order to make it accessible to read and interested.
Kids like to read stuff about things that can talk about together. However, reading is a solitaire activity – kids at that age start to be more socially active.
Technology – kids are receptive to modern technology – iPad.
Outline of what might happen in a story.
Suggestions:
Look at research book – key book: Computer games.
Personal research: get feedback from 11-year old cousin.
Interview kids: How children think? How kids, readers and non-readers, think? What they like and don’t like? Ask for books they don’t like and why. Children responding to John’s illustration.
Talking with librarians that work with kids.
Questionnaire about feedback from kids books from publisher (Planeta Tangerina – Rita).
Be aware of ethical issues involved. What is appropriated in order to obtain collaboration.
List ideas that you have: interactions with iPad. 2D or 3D? Research on app building. Challenge of software – time prototyping and testing.
Involve hacker kids?
Go to exhibition on the House of Fairy Tales.
Presentation:
Presentation must include ideas of areas you are think to work on.
Use the interesting facts of the research.
Draw info for the presentation! Give example of the story. Complement illustration with speaking. Indicate: “I could do this interaction here…”
Have the main points you want to cover. And give the taste of the story.
