Here's an overview of how we rolled out the project

1. A version of the myth was edited and distributed as a script by a sophomore student and myself using Acrobat.com.

2. High school students visited the two 3rd grade classrooms to read the story and create sketches based on assigned parts of the readings.

3. Our district visual arts specialist then helped both elementary classrooms create watercolor paintings from the drawings.

4. After the drawings were sent over to the high school, students shot, edited and/or composited their interpretation of the 3rd grader's paintings using Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended.

5. High school students returned to present their imagery to the elementary students and teachers, discussing their own creative processes and making connections between the visual works.

6. Several 3rd graders recorded the audio track for the script and submitted them to the high school for narration.

7. High school teams worked to compile all media assets for the digital book layout and video.

8. A senior student created the Pandora's Box intro graphic using Adobe After Effects.

9. The book layouts were uploaded to two different book websites and distributed online to share with the world for print and/or online enjoyment.
