Progress Feedback

Tutorial with Patrick was really good this morning! He gave me lots to think about and gave me tips/things to consider to make the project more exciting for the target audience. I came out feeling more confident about the project and I'm excited to get going!

Issues discussed at the tutorial:

• How interactive is the book going to be? make it a game? include pull tabs etc. with extra info/imagery so that the kids can really immerse themselves and discover new things as if they really were in the Savanna. - a pop up within a pop up?
• Story is good so far, but can be further edited - is it about the senses - being aware of their environment. Include jeopardy/danger/adventure.
• Get rid of the first two lines and make "Race you to the waterhole!" the title? - adds a bit more excitement/adventure - Would grab more attention.
• Do we see the humans - how? How do they interact with the environment and ecology? make them into finger puppets so that the reader can literally become the characters?
• Do the animals have folkloric characters? give them voices and names to make it more exciting, whist also incorporating more of the african culture though folktales.
• Look further into pop-ups - the watering hole to a mountain range backdrop. 
• Start visualising - sketch, draw!
