     Welcome to my narrative website! This site is dedicated to the many stories I have created during this unit.

     In English we wrote a short story using the stylistic devices we learned through other narratives that we read in class. In Design we created a Photo Narrative diptych using our fancy cameras and Photoshop. And later, we illustrated an illustration that metaphorically represents a story using Adobe Illustrator. In Web/Audio we learned how to use Adobe Flash to create an animatic and an animation. My story is about a sheep and an alpaca (my two favorite animals!). Thus, the theme for this website. The music for this website was created in Garageband and a portion of it was featured in my animation.

     Through this unit I have found that writing a good story is actually a lot harder then I thought. Sometimes too many details are bad and other times too little can make your story confusing. One of the main things I took out of this unit was that in a story you should have something that your character wants, even if it is only a glass of water. You want the audience to feel what your character is feeling and become a part of the story.
