Making language films


Birgithe (6th grade) and Millaaraq (7th grade) have been working really hard to make language films to help friends like Norbert, and the schools following us in England, learn Avanersuarmi (the Qaanaaq dialect).


This photo shows a little of the process involved with the girls choosing the words and getting just a little help from their teacher. Every film the students make is entirely the students own work. They choose the words, translate them into English using dictionarys, they decide the order of the words in the film, and then they film it. Simigaq (7th grade) has been a great camerawoman on the last two movies.(The teacher edits the movie at home due to the limits of the school computers.)

You can see the latest film from Birgithe and Millaaraq soon.
