Three speakers discuss Amber the Maker, a student-created book from Anne's maker-education session. They debate a pivotal scene where a girl claims a crocodile ate her arm, interpreting it as either a protective lie against bullying or a way to disclose difference without judgment. The group sees the book as motivating for young people to pursue their goals.
Chapters
Oh my God. Okay, hello everyone. Okay, we have— we had a little situation here, you know. But we are waiting for Anne to continue reading the book. Okay, hello everyone! Okay, thank you, thank you, sorry. So as far as we have read and heard about Aine, well, she shared with us that she is into this maker education. Presented to us some of her projects, and she was reading the book that she, uh, and her students made about Amber the Maker. I don't know if we could share the screen in the meantime.
Do you have the book?
What do you think about it, guys?
It was interesting. Yes, yes, I like it.
It motivates young people to do what they want and not ever stop until they reach their goals. Excellent.
I don't like something.
What is it?
I don't know, I don't like that the girl says that one of her arms was like bad, right? And she was lying because Why would she have some problem?
She said something about a crocodile or something.
Yeah, she says crocodile eat her arm, but it has a problem. It did.
I, uh, she said that because you were like a little girl and the woman say that she didn't want to accept it.
Oh, she said that, she said that because nobody wants to tell her like, oh, what's happened with your arm? And instead that she said the truth, she was like lying to protect herself, you know, from being bullied or something else. Yeah, that's a smart thing too. Like, if you have a problem of anything about your body You can lie a bit and then you can—
I think it was a way, you know, that she felt comfortable sharing, like, yeah, something happened to me and I'm different because of this, but not being judged, you know. So maybe that was what the book was talking about when she created that story about the crocodile eating her hand, you know. very difficult to continue reading the book. We're going to share the book with you guys so you can tell us what do you think about it. And well, that's it for today. Thank you everyone who's watching. Bye!
