Digital+Story

media type="custom" key="6098457"

Making a digital story will allow students another visual representation of information. They can use a novel or poem and craft a story through pictures and music. It allows them to pick and choose how to tell the story, and they can really be creative with how they craft the story. They can also use pictures that represent what they saw in their head. It does not have to be concrete straightforward examples. This will really push students to think critically and creatively. They can also work on these projects in groups allowing each students voice to be heard and explained.

Again a majority of the NETS-S standards are used for a project of this nature. Students are employing standards 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. It depends how the assignment is given, but students truly get to do a little bit of everything with this assignment. I think it will be something I use to exemplify how well a student comprehended what happened on the page. It allows them room to be creative and understand the text.
