(Giorgia) Problem in skype call for 11th march

Dear all,

last night it started to snow and now it is still snowing (yes! despite we are in march!!! if you click on the title of this post, you will see our webcam), so we are not sure if we will be able to skype with you today: we don't know neither if we (Eleonora, Emanuele and I) can reach Vallauri from the planetarium nor if Vallauri school will be open (it depends on the decision of the regional council).
I asked Adele and Matteo if they will be able to skype at least with Courtney from their houses, but we may have to postpone the skype conversation with everyone to next thursday (18th march 2010).
Sorry for that! I will be on skype anyway, if someone needs or wants to talk to us.

Let's talk- from Rebecca

Hi Everyone,
I had a couple of very interesting conversations last week with the two different partners. I'm really glad that the teams have shared their interpretations of "A Day in the Life" and their scene descriptions.
There are some questions now. How are we going to put this all together into one creative product? There has been some suprise at how much more metaphorical and narrative the Louisiana team's interpretation of the scenes is.
I would like for the two teams of kids to start talking about how to make this "ours" instead of "theirs" and "ours". So instead of posting something on the web and then walking away, I think it is important to have a back-and-forth dialog discussing how to put everything together.
I'm recommending three skypes in the coming three weeks. The first I'd like you to talk about how to make the narrative make sense. The second about the soundtrack, and the third on why you chose to feature certain things in your scenes. Why was it important to the Italians to show playing with a sibling in the first scene? Why was it important for the Louisianans to show Louisiana woods? This is where the cultural exchange will happen.
So, I was hoping that the first scenes would be e-mailed to each other before Thursday, and I think that the kids need to plan on meeting by skype on the next three Thursdays- as many kids as can be there.
Hope that is okay with everyone! After these meetings we will have enough information to write the Digistar script.
My best to everyone,
Rebecca

(Emanuele) Hi!

Hello everyone!

How are you?
In recent weeks it snowed in Louisiana?
Here are 35 cm of snow!

Tomorrow we Italians we meet and we will divide into two groups:
one will continue to record while the other will start to make the "assembly" of recorded scenes.
You've already seen some part of our work?
You like?
