Other Websites

Khan Academy is a great online resource, and one my favorite teaching toolboxes from the site is Imagineering in a Box. In case you don't know, Imagineers are the creative force behind Disney theme parks. The video based lessons go through the process of designing a particular theme park land and ride--detailing the various elements that go into such an effort:  music, artwork, engineering. It's a great cross-curricular project, and the videos are excellent! The full link is here:  https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/hass-storytelling/imagineering-in-a-box 

Khan Academy also has a course called Pixar in a Box. I have not tried it personally, but it focuses on Pixar's unique storytelling approach. The link is here:  https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/hass-storytelling/storytelling-pixar-in-a-box
