  3. Education Applications: Story Dice 3D is primarily useful in higher order activities under the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy, particularly Creating, where you create, invent, compose, predict, plan, construct, design, imagine, propose, devise, and/or formulate. You can devise less and more challenging activities, as in the following example. Sample Journal Activity “My Perfect Day” using the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy Student/Short Version: Student will create a character using Story Dice 3D, then describe/write/dramatize their own “perfect day” from their character’s perspective. Teacher Version: Student will create a unique character using the Story Dice 3D for seed ideas. After writing a short character sketch, student will compose a Journal Entry called “My Perfect Day” writing from their new character’s perspective. The evaluation step is the highest order activity and is a self-grading option.. Finally, a fun bonus option in a classroom or small workgroup setting is to have students perform their journal entries as monologues, in character, possibly interacting with each other, adding a drama element. 1. Remembering: Roll five or more Story Dice 3D. Identify and describe the pictures on dice. 2. Understanding: Paraphrase the task (Journal Activity “My Perfect Day”) in which you will use the dice. 3. Applying: Prepare a chart with five categories: name, age, job, pets, hobbies. Place each dice image within a category. Imagine that you are this character and write a short paragraph describing yourself in detail. 4. Analyzing: Examine each feature of your character and determine what makes them special. 5. Evaluating: Decide what worked and what didn’t in your journal entry. Were you successful at combining the dice pictures in a believable way? 6. Creating: Compose a journal entry called “My Perfect Day” from the character’s perspective. BONUS Activities: Perform journal entry as a monologue and interact with other students. Stay in character! https://thinkamingo.com/our-apps/story-dice-3d/
