Children's Narrative: Create Lively Characters

“We have reached the end of the course, but it is not goodbye, this is where your adventure begins. It's time to start creating your own story with your final project. Remember that no story is told in the same way twice, so even if you choose the same character as me or one of your colleagues, the project will be different. I share an example of how I would like to see your final project: The character Choose a character you want to work with. Learn about its history and roots. It is important that you take on the task of researching about it so that you can write a brief review of it, for example: what does it imagine, what it says, how it dress, what elements it likes, what it detests, and so on.

See you on the forum!”
