Hero’s Journey is an online writing activity, that walks students through the character development of a Greek Hero.
This will work well with our English classes to incorporate writing into their study of the Greek literature. The writing process in this activity will help students understand the characteristics of a Greek hero and could even be used to create a modern day epic. Since our classes are on trimesters this interactive, quick write activity will be prefect as an introduction to the section or a review of the section.
Twenty-First Century Informational Literacy: Integrating Research Techniques and Technology - Works to improve and develop student's research skills and integrates technology in the research and in the presentation. Students create graphic novels instead of writen or oral reports.
This research project is set up for the student to present their information in graphic novel format. I like this project for several reasons. One, the research steps are well organized, two students will find it hard to plagiarize and most of the students will enjoy the new format. This activity allows students to use technology for the research but to also present the information in a creative way. Activities like this improve technology skills while building research skills. One problem I see in my district is coming up with the program or software to create the graphic novel.
