IDEA ONE: CSI Epics
Background: If you have read anything I have posted about myself, you know that I love TV shows (more like Netflix and Hulu, but still the same thing). One show that I am a little obsessed with is any of the CSIs. I figured this would be a really fun topic to explore a storybook with. I could narrate the deaths of specific characters and explain how we came to find out what causes their death. I think it would be really interesting to learn how each character’s death could be possibly connected.
Research so far: I got some ideas about possible stories from a storybook I read last week about 1000 ways to die in Indian Epics. I feel as if the more I read the epics assigned, the better knowledge I will have about creating this possible storybook. I can already think of some possible featured stories (Dashratha, Lakshmana) I would also of course use this handy-dandy death stories page provided by the lovely Professor.

IDEA TWO: Karma Cases
Background: My husband always is talking about Karma, so I thought it would be interesting to research some stories about different action-reaction situations in the Epics that I read. I could also tell him about some horrible fates he might meet (as did some characters) if he is mean to me. I would be really interested to learn how each story reacts to the next one. I would love to learn how the very first pages I read in this class may have changed possible paths for characters.
Research so far: I got the idea because my husband was actually talking about karma while I was writing this assignment. Most of what I have been able to find about this possible Storybook originates from the list of past projects that dealt with the topic. For ease in research later, I am going to bookmark the page AND link it here (in case I'm on my ipad)

IDEA THREE: Disney/Pixar Stories
Background: After writing my first storytelling assignment and reading the stories other people came up with, I realized how much of these pieces relate to stories we all know at heart. I thought writing my Cinderella piece was very challenging and exciting as well! I think this would be a fantastic storybook because it challenges me to put these new characters into the world of my favorite stories as a kid. In doing so, I have to somehow relate objects and characters in a way that the audience understands what I am trying to portray.
Research so far: After looking through some of the storybooks, I realize my best bet is to read through most of the love stories or couple stories. Although some stories are very interesting, such as Krishna and Radha’s love, I’m not sure how I could necessarily tie their stories to my beloved childhood tales. However, I am thinking it could perhaps be okay if I made up my own fairytale storyline for this project as long as I follow the mainstream characteristics of Disney princess/love stories.
IDEA FOUR: War Stories
Background: As someone that studies wars, international political theories, and things that surround these notions, I thought it would be interesting to come up with my own story about the battles the Indian Epics characters faced. I figured that I could possibly rewrite their stories in a way that could establish it as a story in the current day setting.
Research so far: As with the other possible storybooks that I have researched, the most helpful items that I looked at were past projects, although there were not as many to look at on this subject. Even though there is not a lot of past material to perhaps play off of, it doesn’t mean I don’t love a challenge. (Growth mindset!)
