You will be provided a CD which has 6 video clips for the 6 poems : The River , Mr. Nobody, Heir Conditioning, Freedom Fighter, Leisure and I wonder. For the river , I wonder and Mr. Nobody power point versions are provided. I have included two song clips- Michael Jacksons Earth song and My moms song.

LCD is cumbersome. An alternative is to buy a VGA splitter which would cost around RM 50 and two monitors ( cost of each is about RM 90 150) The splitter connects the laptop to the two monitors. For this option , you have to leave the monitors in class. Another alternative is to use a pocket projector which costs RM 800 RM 900/-

The simplest to learn is the power point. But its not a video clip and it has limitations. To produce a clip, you have to learn the movie maker. It is the simplest and the students will be all too happy to teach you. The best is the Flash which many says offers more options. If you still cant do any , well get the students to produce their own clip as an assignment. They will love the challenge. You merely judge on their work and presentation.

That is all . Happy teaching.
