Your Project

Element Super Hero-Example

Element Superhero
Design a Superhero whose special powers are the attributes that your assigned element has. For example, some elements can withstand heat exceptionally well. Some elements flow like a liquid. Some elements are exceptionally strong. Think of how these element properties could be a superpower.
You can choose to create your superhero electronically, or draw your own.

Element Comic Book - Example

Element Comic Book
You can choose to share your information about your element in the form of a comic book. The library's iPads have an app called "Comic Book" that lets you upload photos, add effects, insert speech bubbles and recreate the look of a real comic book. This example does not contain all the requirements of the element project. It is an example of what you can create using the "Comic Book" app on the district iPads.

Element News Report-Example

Use a video editing program such as WeVideo to create a news report that shares information about your element with the people! Cover all the pertinent information that answers the questions; what where, when, about your element. You may use the green screen room in the library to record your video and insert any background you wish into the video. Obviously this video doesn't meet all the requirements of your video project, but it is an example of the kind of thing you can do with WeVideo and your Macbook.
