SW - animated receptive point of view

[Juliette Dalle]

Hello Stefan, Val, Charles, Rocha,..


Wow !

I never thought that my animations would give a passionate debatting.. 
Stefan, thanks for your interested view of teacher, we think in their 
way. We always search a good method to teach the SW to children.

One of my 3 animations is 100% expressive (animation "Mime") ; the red 
hand shows the left hand and blue the right hand, so it is as mirror 
(expressive). And about the 2 animations of facial expression, I was 
surprise that you consider it as receptive. Because I do it in 
expressive not receptive...

;-) smile....
