prezi.comThis is a dynamic online presentation tool. Prezi creates a visually interesting presentation on a text’s characters or themes. Rather than providing separate slides for different elements of a presentation, Prezi provides one giant canvas which is scrolled around on a ‘path.’

Can also be used to create a character’s journey. Start by identifying important settings in the text. Find images that represent these settings and place them on the Prezi canvas. Then their Prezi ‘path’ can become the character path – students’ visually map out a character’s journey to and from each setting and what happens in each setting.
