Project Idea: The Ramayana Told Your Way

Even if you have not heard of the Ramayana before, you will know the plot and characters very well by the end of Week 5, which means you are in great shape to create your own version of the Ramayana as a Storybook project for this class.

Research Tip: The challenge here is to decide what kind of storytelling style you want to use, and then which episodes and characters from the Ramayana will work best for that style. To research ideas, the best thing is just to browse past Storybooks that people have done based on the Ramayana, along with other Ramayana-related topics.

Past Projects:

• Gossip Girl: Ayodhya
• Paranormal: The Ayodhya Files
• The Ramayana Museum of Art
• Sita's Soul
• The Nysrogh Letters
• Deconstructing Maya in the Ramayana
• Epic Indian Battles: Rama Modernized
• The Adventures of Rama and Lakshmana
