The story of you!
7C/7E
For the first project of the year you will
be telling your story. In the digital
age there many ways in which we can tell our story and often to a large
audience. We need to think critically
how we will share our selves and what we will say. As a class we will be looking at different
platforms and personas that people across a variety of texts and create a sample
of what our story may look like.
Ideas of formats your project may take: Blog, Photo essay, comic, visual art with
captions, mock social media page,
