     Today, Mr. Paterson taught us how to make book-reviewing websites. My team members were Miki and Ayano. They are both new to the class compared to me. I want to use my experience last year to support them. We started to work on our websites, especially the overall plan and video.

     First, we figured out what elements are indispensable for the websites and made a basic plan. Mr. Paterson advised that using alliteration for the team's name is effective so “Big Brain Books” became our final decision. We would each own the page of the websites and introduce the books by writing about the author, shooting the video, putting paragraphs, and a slideshow of the book review. For the logo, I am planning to make it using PicsArt or ibisPaint.

     Secondly, I made a plan for the video. I am going to show the slides full screen and put my voice, BGM, and some special effects on. Controlling the tone or volume of the voice is indispensable as the audience is unable to see the facial expression. Also, I would organize my information to make it clear. The Kite Runner has a nostalgic atmosphere so for BGM, I would choose traditional music in Afghanistan.

     To conclude, we would keep working on our websites individually to make professional pages.
