=Introduction= Do you ever want to be someone else? Take on the role of someone else's life for even one day? Well here is your chance! The Interactive Character Blog is your opportunity to act as another person and write about their life. It can be any thing and you can write about whoever. So take this chance and be creative!

=Task= Your task will be to write entries/letter from the viewpoint of another person. This person can be anyone in the entire world, or maybe not even of this world. The job is to make these letters sound as real and descriptive as possible. You will have the opportunity to create podcasts, iMovie clips, comics, online poster (Glogster) and photo albums. There are endless applications that can be used in this blog. It is designed for you to have fun writing and to learn to enjoy good narrative. If this activity is done correctly, your blog will not only be fun to create but it will be the perfect reflection of great narrative writing.

=Conclusion= I'm thinking that you could probably get away with an alter ego the way you can write! Your letters/entries were so in depth that everyone in class felt what it was like to be that multimillion dollar rock star, or what it is like to run the country as President of the United States. Your use of narrative tools such as imagery, diction, syntax and tone were used to the utmost perfection. Now think, if you can create another person and their life so closely and perfectly like this, what should stop you from creating more and writing your own narrative novel?
