Students will immerse themselves in the stories of Shakespeare and Star Wars by participating in engaging story circles and scavenger hunts, activating their listening and empathy skills to understand hero-centric narratives and identify with the characters' journeys.

Students will collaboratively articulate the challenges and goals of connecting Shakespearean storytelling techniques with modern narratives like Star Wars by analyzing scenes through their reflective journals, drafting a problem statement, and engaging in discussion circles to foster deeper understanding and prepare for creative ideation.

Students will collaboratively brainstorm and sketch unique storyboards that integrate elements from both Shakespearean narratives and Star Wars, focusing on creating imaginative scenes that align with the Hero's Journey, which sets the stage for developing their prototype stories in the next phase.

Students will create low-fidelity prototypes of interactive elements for a digital timeline and multimedia presentation that draw parallels between Shakespeare and Star Wars, integrating storyboarding visuals and written reflections on the Hero's Journey in preparation for final product development.

Students will present their interactive digital timelines and multimedia presentations at a feedback session with peers, teachers, and community partners, using insights to refine their projects and deepen their understanding of storytelling parallels between Shakespeare and Star Wars.
