How Does Travelling Tales Work?.
5 Part Story Mountain
Travelling Tales is a fun and simple way for students to create and share short stories using Canva. They draw pictures, add text, and narrate their stories with their own voices.
Each Travelling Tale is divided into five parts:
1. Beginning – Where the Tale starts and the characters are introduced.
2. Build-up – The part where the excitement or tension begins to grow.
3. Problem – The challenge or conflict that the characters face.
4. Resolution – How the problem is solved.
5. Ending – Wrapping up the Tale and showing how everything turns out.
Each part is simple and brief, keeping the story moving and engaging!

What it might look like
In Travelling Tales, the story is broken down into five parts, and each part is connected to a different country, representing global collaboration. Here’s how the parts flow:
1. Beginning (Panama)
2. Build-up (Luxembourg)
3. Problem (Singapore)
4. Resolution (New Zealand)
5. Ending (Tanzania)
In this visual, the green arrows show the flow of the story from beginning to end. Each part of the story is short and simple, and different students or classrooms from around the world could collaborate to complete each section, making it a global storytelling experience.

Travelling Tales will use Canva as the main tool for creating stories. Students will draw, narrate their tales using their own voices, and enhance the stories with icons, hand-drawn images, and text.
Each part of the story should be no longer than five slides. The idea is to keep the tales brief and concise, with each slide lasting no more than 10 seconds.
