Trueblood

= = = Digital Storytelling by Sarah Trueblood-Luke = = = =What is Digital Storytelling? = Digital storytelling is a short, first person video-narrative created by combining recorded voice, still and moving images, and music or other sounds.

This unit is designed to walk students through the writing process and publishing their work in an engaging and creative way. Students will read and analyze personal narratives. Students will brainstorm their own personal narrative ideas, choose one personal event or experience to share, draft their story, and then revise their story for effective techniques, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences. Students will peer edit and publish a storyboard. Once the storyboard is approved, students will have the opportunity to take photographs, draw, or find photos to illustrate their stories. Finally, students will organize their illustrations in a Power Point, record a voice-over, and add music to create a mood for the story. The Power Points will be saved as a video file to be shared on the Internet.
