They needed to research the cultural elements of the place and learn about it&#8217;s geography and\u00a0landforms.<\/p>\n<p>The hope was they would make a connection\u00a0between the geography and the culture of the place they visited. They then had to create a character and provide their audience with a story that encompassed all of the information they had researched and synthesized.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Check it out:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h44fGuhEGFE\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>App-smash Tellagami with a green screen<\/h3>\n<p>Students had the choice of whether to create a Tellagami animated character, or whether to appear as themselves in their videos.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iZy_LuA_dbs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Some students also made iBooks with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redjumper.net\/bookcreator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Book Creator<\/a> iOS app which you can download to your iOS device <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/a\/bsdvt.org\/drop-project-2015\/epub-books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Botte noted that it was remarkable how engaged and excited the students were by this project, including students who were normally less motivated by storytelling and writing exercises.
