5 likes1,554 views
The document discusses the concept of remixing through taking existing creative works and combining or altering their elements to create new works. It provides examples of how to remix stories by changing their setting, audience, narrator, or genre. Examples of remixed versions of "The Three Little Pigs" are provided, with one turning the pigs into space explorers on Mars and another making their robot both a threat and their only means of returning home. The document encourages planning remixes by considering these types of changes and outlines additional ways to remix works through other media like movies, posters, and products.
