thinks imaginatively, creatively and interpretively about information, ideas and texts when responding to and composing texts
Lesson Steps:
​
1) Find the image labelled Royal Palace in the resource tab under lesson 2 and save it on to your computer.
​
2) Try and imagine a character who might be found in this place. For example a robber or a princess. What sort of personality would this character have. What would they look like?
​
3) Now that you have your character in mind start to draw a picture of what this character might look like. What sort of hair would they have? What are they wearing?
​
4) Take a photo using the tablet's camera of your drawing making sure that the character is in the centre of the photo.
​
5) Using your character as inspiration, write a short descriptive passage which involves them and the background image. How would you express the characters's personality? How would you describe how they look?
​
For example:
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
​
6) Take a picture of the text as well. Upload both pictures to your computer.
​
7) On your computer open the Aurasma webpage located here. Select the Create New Aura button.
​
8) When you are prompted to select a trigger image select the Royal Palace which you have previously saved and resize as necessary.
​
9) Next you will have to add the overlays which will be your passage and your drawing. Like before simply upload the pictures and distribute them evenly across the page. Use the image to the right as guide if you need help.
​
10) Click save and publish.
​
11) Open up the Aurasma App on the tablet and aim the camera at the picture. Your AR image should now be on the screen

Lesson 2
"As the moon shone dimly across the museum’s floor a dark shadow moved somewhat silently across the marble. Wrapped from head to toe in clothes of the deepest black with only a shock of red hair creeping out from under his beanie, Arthur edged his way ever closer to his prize, the tiara. Arthur’s eyes darted back and forth constantly between the shadows around him fearfully waiting for the bright beam of a torch to find him. Arthur wiped the cold sweat from his face and continued on, muttering wordlessly to himself “not this time, not this time.”
Quick Question
Why do you think it is important that we give characters a personality? Would their personality change how they act? Would a brave robber be different to a nervous robber?
