Students created a Pixie tombstone for the main characters of their stories. Then they created am iMovie interview with puppets they created representing the main characters from their stories. As an extension activity, students were selected to work with an ITRT to create a QR code that could be taped to the book so children or parents could scan the code with an iPod or iPad and view the projects.
