Adventure Island

What is Adventure Island?
Click on the sign to find out more.
It is designed around the book 'Kensuke's Kingdom' by Michael Morpurgo, but can also be used as a stand-alone project for classes. Without needing to understand any computer language, classes can create an online island that other people can visit and explore. It can involve imaginative and descriptive writing, perhaps diary or poetry writing. There are challenges and puzzles for the visitor to solve. As the visitor travels around the island, descriptive writing for each area encourages them to explore further. Will they be able to survive, and leave the Island, or will they remain forever ... trapped?
We are going to try this out over the next few weeks. We'll let you know more soon.
