Project Idea! Improv and storytelling using the Story Spine by Kenn Adams (there's also a [|Story Spine iPod touch app] )

In groups of 3-4 people, create an improv story following the Story Spine. Record in QuickVoice so you can use it later. Once upon a time ... Everyday... Until one day... Because of that... Because of that... Because of that ... Until finally ... Ever since then... The moral of the story is...

Sometimes, I have students create two morals... one serious and one funny.

Now, using **SonicPics**, **Educreations**, or a similar app, narrate your story and find / draw appropriate images When time is up, we will share our projects with each other.

**//Activity 5: QR Codes, Classrooms, and You (15)//**
