Choose Your Own Path - Fairy Tale Edition Project

Student Re-Imagined Versions of the Three Little Pigs

Cross Curricular Project Between Business Information Management Systems classes and Art classes.

Mrs. Buxkemper and Mr. Epling are proud to present cleverly adaptive and amusingly reimagined fairy tales that have been improved with a modern twist.


Business Information Management and Art students collaborated to write and illustrate re-imagined "choose your own path" versions of "The Three Little Pigs".

BIM students learned how to use Google Forms to create the "choose your own path" scenarios for their re-imagined fairy tales. The Art students were "hired" to illustrate the short stories, and used Wacom drawing tablets to assist them in digitally drawing the illustrations.

Enjoy the new characters and the creative ideas for building the characters' houses to ward off the "bad guy".

The voting for the Google Forms will end May 2 to give us time to conduct the final voting.

Once the art projects have been added, we will remove the Under Construction from those pages.
