Maker Cycle #3: Create a travel commercial about a famous fictional setting

Our upcoming maker cycle #3 is due in December and we will be working on it through November.

The topic for this cycle is 'travel' and I have decided that this task will be a bit more teacher directed.

I'm going to give this a specific fictional spin...and also, a more substantial media component.

For this cycle, students will need to create a commercial for a famous fictional setting.

Consider these posters for famous Star Wars locales:




Of course, there are other famous fictional settings beyond the Star Wars universe and we will brainstorm these in class.

The posters give an idea of how you can turn a fiction setting into a travel destination.

Students will need to create a commercial rather than a poster. For that, we will take a look a 'real life' travel commercials and determine the criteria and purpose of a travel ad.

Here are some to look at:



As to media creation, you can create in imovie, prezi, Haiku Deck, etc. 

These will be posted on your student blogs along with your other maker cycle project for your learning hub members to view in December.
