The following is the lesson plan for the mentioned learning object:
1. Target audience: Kindergarten to Primary two school age children

and to be interested in reading interactive representative

learning both the oral and written forms of the nursery rhyme

My Role in the Production
1. Propose the idea and the framework for the learning object
including selecting the nursery rhyme as the learning material
and designing teaching content;
2. Create the storyboard with the ppt application including searching
for all the pictures involved in the storyboard;
3. Produce the first draft of the Flash version by putting all the slides
involved into one single representation and applying the interactive
techniques like the Map exercise.
4. Work together to produce the final product and apply a new
approach as the final.
In summary, I contribute mainly to the teaching content part and
partly to the technicals.
