Audience: Late stage 3, year 6

Outline of Activities:

1. The students attempt a basic participative narrative, this models to the students the form and techniques of a typical participative narrative including: digital evidence files (in the form of blog posts or digital images), a cast of suspects, a crime (in typical 'whodunnit' crime genre) and a culminating forum post to expect students to write their own ending to the story.

2. Once they've completed this basic participative narrative, the students are then expected to work in groups of 4 to build their own participative narratives, using a concept or topic being studied in class as the foundation for their story.

3. The requirements of a participative narrative expect students to develop comprehensive evidence files using a range of ICT and Web2.0 tools.
