Pictured below are students competing in this activity as a Team Reward challenge for Mr. Smith’s game, “Heroes of Literature - Survivor Edition”. Based on the television show Survivor, students compete against each other throughout the trimester to try to win rewards, conquer immunity challenges, and evade the dreaded Tribal Council--where if they lose, they go to Exile Island!
Big Rapids High School students create an avatar to introduce themselves to their classmates. Students use “bitstripsforschools” to create their avatar and a four slide comic that tells others the activities they are involved in, what their interests are, what their future job will be, and interesting things the class may not know about them.
Avatars provide a less stressful way for students why may be a bit less artistic to introduce themselves. "Bitstrips" allows them to use technology that is often more natural to the students.
