Travel Journals

Today we will begin an ongoing project: travel journals.  At least a couple of times per unit, we will be working on these.  Here's what you need to know:

1) Create a folder in Hapara called "Travel Journals"

2) These journals will be first-person accounts- think "historical fiction" about our curriculum

3) You will be responding to a prompt as you begin writing

Today's Prompt:

You are visiting an exact location in China.  You select the period: Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing. If you have strong feelings about medieval Japan, you can select that period as well.  What happens to you in this location, who do you meet, and what's the outcome? Write a minimum of a three paragraph narrative or "scene" that tells this story in the first person. This scene should have a beginning, middle, and an end and should connect at least indirectly, to our course material. When you are done writing, please create or locate an image that corresponds to your journal.  At the top of your journal, please title it "Travel Journal 1" and the time period in parentheses.

You are open to use GoogleDocs. GoogleSlides, Prezi, Animoto, Powtoon, WeVideo- or any app you like as long as you respond to the prompt.  Good luck and happy trails!
