"The Metro Bus"

The bus is riding through an imaginary street inside a book which is open. The driver tells everyone that they are going to go on a journey that they have may never imagined before. The name of the bus, "I Dream A World for You". Every stop the bus makes, a character walks onto the bus and tells a story relating to a subject in a story. An example would be Jack who tells a story about how he learned about how getting an education is important. Visuals are provided for each characters story along with objects for the viewer to click to make the story continue, for example Jacks book will need to be clicked for him to open it up and start talking about how reading helped him out.

When the story ends the bus will make another stop, and another person will hop on the bus. The user will be given the opportunity to either hear a previous characters story again, or listen to another persons story. After a few stops, a person will walk on the bus and ask the user would they like to know about Adinkra Symbols. If the person clicks yes. A menu with symbols will be shown, and when a symbol is clicked, the person will talk about its meaning, and the dialogue text will be shown at the bottom of the screen. At any time the user will be allowed to click out of any story or hear another story over by clicking on a given character.
