Group5's topic is 'child abuse'. I think group5 did a good job. Their pictures were well chosen, and they appealed people what a child needs is complete family and love, they also offered the connections, I like the procedure they did. Plus, their posters are great! The slogan are fit for the theme, and the using of effects are pretty good.

Pet care is group4's topic. I very love their story in the video, it guides people to know what they want to say. And the pictures they choose are good, too. The pets are very very cute! The slogan 'He is not your toy, he's your family' is fit for the theme. However, they did not post the connection of the organization. Their posters are good, but subhead seems too be a little too many words. Anyway the pictures are well chosen.

Group 3 - Littering

See posters: http://vincent520-wahaha.blogspot.com/2009/06/httpwww.html

Littering is the theme of group3. I think their video is good, they appeal us not to throw garbage randomly to anywhere. We need to protect the environment for animals. And they offer the connections of the organization, that's good. However, they do not need to post the resource websites on the video, they can put it at other document. Plus, their poster are good, the slogan can match to the theme,too.

Group 2 - Homeless

Homeless is group2's theme. I think they can add more effect to let people aware of those words, like in 2007.......to 2008......., I think they do not need to type all the words on the video. In their video, they said "the government should ...." However they did not note who want the government to do this, who did this video. Moreover, I think their posters are not well done, especially they did not note which organization it was.

Group 1 - Teenage Suicide

The theme of group1's topic is 'teenage suicide'. This is a society problem nowadays and they also pointed out the question: Can suicide really ease your pain? They used many pictures and matched well. I love the poem they offered, I think that really can let us think more if we want to commit suicide. Plus, the slogan of the posters are good, and related to the video's theme.

Pixton: The Lover

One day, Mark's lover was gone, and he asked the God for help. When the God was telling him the method to find his love, Mark suddenly ran forward. Why? Well, he finally found his 'lover'!

Susan Boyle Webquest

Susan Boyle, who comes from a village in Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland. On 11 April 2009, when she was 47 years old, she attended the third series of 'Britain's Got Talent', a British TV show that searches for talented people. When she was on the stage at the first audition, all the audiences, even the judges thought: "Can she sings well? " because of her unpolished appearance. She did not has a slender shape and pretty dress, she has bushy eyebrows and frizzy hair, well, she was not a charming woman. However, after she sang, she got a standing ovation. Every one were surprised by her beautiful voice ....See Susan Boyle's first round audition

After Susan's first show was posted on the youtube, it has been over 67,000,000 people that viewed the video. That was an amazing number! She broke the record of Paul Potts (the champion of first series). She became famous by 'I dreamed a dream' , the song from Les Misérables ( a novel by French author, Victor Hugo, and has been performed as opera), and she also sang other songs like 'Cry me a river' , 'Killing me softly' and 'Memory' from Cats, the song which was sung by her idol, Elaine Page (a famous British singer who has performed many operas, and always be the prima role).

Because of Susan Boyle became more and more popular, she was interviewed by ABC News, STV (Scottish Television), CBS, BBC, and NBC, she even interviewed by the American talk show host, Larry King Click here . Moreover, there were many media has reported Susan's story in Taiwan, of course, those news all said Susan Boyle was a miracle, and has a pretty, touching voice. Susan also has some famous fans like the actress Demi Moore. Demi Moore said that she was cring when she saw Susan sing 'I dreamed a dream'. Plus, I found a poem video for Susan on youtube, and it was written by John (musound). Click here

Susan Boyle is a downtown woman, she lives with her beloved cat with a humdrum life in a small village. However, with the popularity, Susan Boyle started to change her appearance to be more beautiful, and more attractive. She wore make-up and her dressing became fashionable as well. Some people hope that Susan could keep her original appearance, but some people like her new change. For me, I like the expression Susan gave me in the beginning so I hope she could be herself. She did not need to change her outside look because of others' judgements. But, no matter what appearance she is, I believe that her attitude is always the same.

By the way, there are many famous singers come from 'Britain's Got Talent'. For example, Paul Potts. He was a common mobile phone seller until he won the championship at 'Britain's Got Talent' in 2007. He became very famous all over the world and published his albums. He even had the honour to perform at the Royal Variety Performance in front of Queen Elizabeth II.

See Paul Potts' first audition

The other one is the cute child singer, Connie Talbot. She is one of my favorite singer. (I bought her albums! >0< ) She was only 6 years old when she attended the audition, and she was in the same series with Paul Potts and she won the second place in the competition. She and Paul are very popular after they attended the show. Connie also came to Taiwan to publicize her first album 'Over The Rainbow' in 2008.
