Week 4 - Writing the outline (by Louise and Maylis)

This week we wrote the outline of our story.

To begin, we chose a character. We wanted a girl, and first we thought about a princess but then she became a simple girl. Soon we chose that the story will take place in the United States even before they were the United States. We are very interested by the Native American culture so we chose a background linked to that culture. We decided to tell the story of how the girl get her name. The Native Americans are also very closed to nature and animals and children usually like those themes, so we tried to incorporate them to our story.


What we learned :
- new vocabulary, especially animals and words linked to the Native American culture
- that is very difficult to create the "perfect" story

Difficulties we faced with :
- pronunciation of this new vocabulary
- match our wishes with the reality
- find a subject which pleased to everyone in our group (especially because Emilie wasn't there and we wanted to do something she might like too)
