Final Project Journal Entry

The final week of class is upon us, and we are putting together our final presentations. My group consists of myself, Natalie, and Michi, and we have decided to create an "interactive study site" for students about Aesop's Fables. I really like this idea, and how we plan on using music and dance to explore three of Aesop's fables. We are going to create a few different pages-

Main Page- background history on Aesop's fables, and an annotated listing of 5 or so fables with short descriptions, and links to the fable.

3 pages for 3 Fables- each having 4 components:

1. the story itself typed out

2. a dance/acting out video that goes along with the story

3. a recording of us reading the story

4. embedded pictures and sound effects to go along with the story

Teacher Instruction Page- explanation of how this site can be used in class, and contact information for us, links to other resources, etc. Also include some research about literacy and the performing arts.

My role in this group is to create the page for "The Tortoise and The Hare" fable, and choreograph the dance videos that accompany each of the 3 fables. I will also be discussing how dance and literacy interrelate in our final presentation.
