This Welsh language workshop was part of Academi's 'BayLit/Llen y Lli' festival in Cardiff Bay in October 2008. We worked with Mererid Hopwood (at left in the picture above) on this one-day activity. The chidren were all members of Academi's 'Sgwadiau Sgwennu' (writing squads) which are designed to develop the writing talent of the future. Most were from Year 9 in Ysgol Gyfun Bro Morgannwg, a Welsh medium Secondary school in the Vale of Glamorgan.
The task was to work in groups to write poems based on a silent montage film. Next, they recorded their poems as performances. The next step was to work out how to create a completely new film, with new images, based on their poem. They went out to film the images in Cardiff Bay before returning to edit the films with iMovie.
