“Thank you so much to arrived to until here. It has been a pleasure to share this story with you, I hope that everything learned helps you to let your creativity fly and give life to your future projects. Now let's review the key phases of the project. I would like you to briefly explain what you have done in each one and accompany the explanation with one or more images. The story Choose the story you want to base it on. As you have seen in the course, I have chosen to embark on the rewrite of Little Women .

Analysis and approach Analyze your story calmly and divide it into its different parts. It is not necessary that it be very rigorous or that you follow a specific scheme: it is about identifying the parts that make sense or relevance to you. Think, what would you be interested in exploring from that story? Do you feel like there's something left unsaid, a character that doesn't have a voice, an update, or a context switch? Anything goes, it's YOUR story. The voice of your story and writing When you know what you want to tell, choose a voice, who you want to tell your story and from where. Try different voices until you find the one that is easiest for you or makes the most sense for your story. Write a thousand words and share them. In the previous unit I have left you as a downloadable resource the first chapter that I have written. Structure of the story Finally (although it is only the beginning, how exciting!), take one of the models to make your diagram. You will see that it is a great exercise to clarify exactly what you want to tell and where you want your story to go. Don't forget to share with me both this diagram and the thousand words you wrote. You can find mine as a downloadable resource in the unit above. The time has come for you to share your final project with the community by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result and the steps that have led you to it. I look forward to seeing your project and giving you feedback. Although I ask for your patience, I will try to access the forum as much as I can and what my professional projects allow me. Finally, I want to invite you to actively participate in the forum, not only sharing your progress, but also giving advice and trying to help the rest of the community. See you in the forum!”

I hope you have learned many things and I wish you, even if you don't take anything else, you take at least two lessons. A, that the most important thing in this task is curiosity. What would you like to know every time you read it, every time you approach a series, every time you approach a movie, to a novel, to a play? Think, what would i do with this?
