I have offered a challenge to my G & T kids. They are to create an interactive novel study. They may chose which platform they wish to use. The activities have to be a combination of both comprehension and language, based around the Blooms Digital Taxonomy. The activities had to be something they would like to do.
So far they have achieved far more than I expected and the sites are looking great. As a setting the scene activity some of them have used Mindcraft or Lego, so who ever is creating the scene is using the program to show their understanding of the scene from the story.
I found a great link for the Blooms Digital Taxonomy that gave them a better understanding of how to ensure their activities reached the higher order thinking required to challenge students.

As we progress through this activity, I will keep you posted and hopefully be able to show you the finished product in the near future.
