Interactive storytelling event at Chawton House
An interactive storytelling event took place at Chawton House Library using the latest of modern technology.
Teachers left instructions which flashed up on the PDAs at various places in the grounds of the house, such as the walled garden or on the main drive up to the house, to record a dialogue between two people arriving at the house for the first time. The pupils could also play audio clips describing parts of the grounds and record all of their own annotations. All of this information could be replayed in the classroom at a later date.
We like to think the children were inspired by leftover Austen-vibes. Chawton must be an amazing (or possibly really intimidating!) place to write.
(We have emerged from our Potter-stupor. For how long, who can tell. Also there seems to be a thunderstorm brewing at AustenBlog World Headquarters. Lots of news to report, though.)
