From the circus bazaar to the sweeping cathedral in the centre of town, Epic Citadel dazzles with a visual parade of special effects. Teachers at Ringwood North Primary School created the Epic Citadel Challenge. The Epic Citadel Challenge involved educators and students collaborating to create a digital story based on the Epic Citadel environment and then sharing the story and reflections globally.

Students are learning to...

 get insipration and to write creative stories.

Epic Citadel Challenge

Teachers at Ringwood North Primary School created the Epic Citadel Challenge.

Here’s the Epic Citadel Challenge students were set:

• create a digital story utilizing photos from the app Epic Citadel
• the digital story may include text, or it may not. It may be a collage, a poem. It is entirely up to you, as long as it tells some sort of story
• use any apps you like to create your story
• your story must be no more than 3 minutes
• all finished stories must include a short reflection by the student before being uploaded.
• Please answer these questions How did you create your story? What worked well? What didn't? What skills do you think you have learnt in completing this task?

Ideas to get started

• sequence your pictures in Keynote in order to add text to your snapshots
• create a short film in Reel Director where you can include transitions, audio and even record a voiceover
• use Doodle Buddy to stamp new characters over the top of the pictures
• use Strip Design to create a comic. Insert pictures into frames, add text and speech bubbles
• use apps that allow you to compose your own music to create a soundtrack or ambience.
