For Chinese, we received a project which required us to make a book based on the theme “This is me”. Along with the guidelines, we were given 10 weeks to complete the book. As this project was done during the HBL period, the assigning of roles ( E.g Illustrator, writer) had to be done efficiently and in an organized manner. My group members Desiree, Sophia, Ching En, Janelle and I, each had to take turns to bring the book home to do our share.

Our book is about a girl called Lily who aspires to become a famous pianist. With hard work and dedication, she reaches her goal and performs worldwide. The book is meant to tell Lily’s story of becoming her true self to relate to the theme. We also wanted to inspire readers (7-9 year old children) to dare to dream and work hard to achieve their goals. Creating the book was challenging due to the lack of materials and restrictive social distancing measures. However, the challenge only strengthened our spirits as we pushed through it all. This project allowed us to express ourselves in the Chinese language too.
