IR Project #1 Digital Storytelling


The Mirror Crack'd by Agatha Christie

1a. I chose to create a scrapbook using Mixbook.com for my Independent Reading project b. I wanted to show the old fashion style of that time period and the way Christie writes her murder mysteries c. Two of my most meaningful or descriptive parts are the actual look of the project and how the pictures I chose helped to represent the characters and events in the novel.
2a. I personally had some difficulties with the program in the beginning however as I got the hang of it I felt more comfortable with using it b. I learned a lot about placement and size while working with Mixbook.com and to really show what the book was all about c. Yes, I do like synthesizing the book in this way because it is a more interesting method in trying to convey the message in a book and also lets me explore my creative side as well.
3a. Yes, I did. I have read several of her books already but I found this one to be really interesting in a way that it can relate to The Great Gatsby. Her mysteries always keeps you on your toes and you expect what the outcome may be b. Based on what we will be read I will keep a novel that has to do with identity and what we can become.

  1. Your project was really good. The images in the scrapbook really held my attention and kept me interested. While this does not seem like the type of book I would normally read your project has peaked my interest in it, and I might look further into it.
