I feel like this is a great way to allow students to connect to something unfamiliar, like a literary text, through a medium they are comfortable with. What I liked best about this form is that we had to think about what the short story was saying and tell that same story. It would have been easier to illustrate the action with pictures or film a reading, but the jump to adding another level with the same story is what made the project unique and the application very helpful.

I would love to use this kind of project with my students. Furthermore, I would love to have them use their own social media accounts so that their work would be available to friends, followers, subscribers, etc. Their work would become more meaningful to them and would provoke thought as others could like, share, and comment on their work.
