Telling a story.

By Colin Davitt

Have you seen that commercial of Hall and Oates as they worked on the lyrics of a song?  It was like you could see inside their minds as they edited the song to get it just right.

This site will do just that.   Watch the samples they have and let you mind wander.
How might this be used in the classroom?

  • A retelling of a historical event?
    • An argument between two historical figures?
  • Book trailer?
    • How the story unfolds from a few points of view?
  • Solving some problem?
    • How multiple parties attempt to construct a solution? 
The application of this site is endless.  How might you use this with your class?

Start by clicking the gear icon in the upper right corner of Gmail. Scroll way down the page. Look for the vacation responder section. 1. Click to turn the responder on. 2. Add your first and last days away. We would recommend adding something short and to the point for the subject line. 3. Whatever you add here will be the body of the email you are automatically sending out. It would be a good idea to tell them when you are planning on returning and who to call if they need immediate assistance. We also recommend not checking the two buttons at the bottom. 4.
