Here are some of the ideas for Storybook Project that I came up with while browsing through the various options we have this semester! I am excited to see what I end up doing.

 

 

1. The Secret Life of An OU Student

In this storybook, I was thinking to use the OU Ghost Stories collection (link can be found here) to talk about the secret life of an OU student. I would make it where each ghost story is told from the perspective of an OU student who is experiencing the events, but make the setting more accurate to what we see in Norman today. So, it would essentially be taking the ghost stories into the 21st century, while also telling it from the perspective of an OU student who experiences it all.

 

2. Gossip Girl - Greek Goddess Edition

Last semester I ended up doing a Gossip Girl storybook project using Indian Epics. I was thinking maybe I could do the same, but stories that have to do with a specific Greek Goddess. I am not sure which one yet, but I believe that once I read more about them I will be able to figure out which one I want to do. Or, I could have Gossip Girl talk about each of them in their own stories. The link to the Greek Goddesses storybooks can be found here.

 

3. Life of the Teenage Goddess

I think something that I really know how to do is emulate a project based on TV shows or books that I've read. So, my third project idea was to tell the story of one goddess from the perspective of her attending a high school with the drama she faces with other goddesses, dates gone wrong with other gods, and the normal life you would expect with a teenage girl but with a goddess twist. The same storybooks for the link of goddesses can be found here.

4. Couples from the Bible - 21st Century
I was thinking to maybe write the love stories of the couples of the bible in a more digital age. Maybe keep the setting as OU's campus, and have them be OU students. Or generally keep the theme broad and just use the 21st century as a perspective (social media, texting, etc.) The link to these storybooks can be found here.
