 * **Click here for the Student Work Page***

Throughout history people have used stories to pass on the traditions and experiences from generation to generation. As we delve more into technology at a very young age, it is important to teach students how to craft stories and how to present them in the medium of the time - namely through digital storytelling. While the craft of writing may not have changed, the deliver method certainly has.

//__Assignment Description:__// For this activity you will create a digital story that you will include in your Capstone Portfolio. Creating a digital story is a time consuming activity. Thus there are fewer assignments this week to enable you to spend a longer amount of time to create a quality product.

As you work on creating your digital story it is important to collect research to support your choices and methods. You will use this information for your capstone reflection on this artifact.

//__Outline of Assignment __//
 * 1) Before creating the actual digital story you must first create a storyboard that either teaches curriculum from your content area, OR for a story to serve as an exemplar for students to view as they learn to create their own stories- again as a curricular support.
 * 2) Make the story relevant, interesting with emotional content to hook your audience, give students a expert’s view of how you would create relevance and interest.
 * 3) Once the storyboard is complete create your own digital story using Garage Band, iMovie, Photo-story or Moviemaker 2.
 * 4) Use images, script, sound/music and narration to weave a compelling and interesting story 3-5 minutes long.
 * 5) Save your story to Youtube or Teachertube and share the link and storyboard with your peers and instructor.
