Literature/Comp - Sundiata Graphic Novel
In my Literature and Composition class, relating to the Sundiata App we read the graphic novel about Sundiata, the founder of the kingdom of Mali. For this assignment we had to make our own graphic novel page. In the book Sundiata was a hero but in his early child hood he was not treated well by the people in his village, my idea for my novel page was his griot, his adviser, to be asking him why he did what he did and if he regrets it at all. It was a question I had after reading the book, so I wondered based on his character what he would respond to the question.
Literature/Comp - Sundiata Essay
In addition to the graphic novel pages, I wrote an essay to accompany it. After we read the book, we were instructed to write an essay based on what the defining characteristics of a hero are and how they apply to Sundiata. I wrote about how I thought that Sundiata was a hero because of his journey throughout the story.
Digital Technology - Sundiata App
For this project, we were instructed to make an app based on the ancient kingdom of Mali and modern Mali. This app includes interactive buttons and music. Each screen tells you a little bit about Mali. To build this app we had to go through research and code to make sure everything was working and running smoothly and add or take away screens and design elements so that everything relates to the topic.
