Assignment Title: Digital
Short Story
Uses in the Classroom: As part of a mentoring
program, fourth grade students will create a digital story using Animoto or (a
similar program) that they will share with first grade students. The older
students will select photos from home or choose from pictures the teacher has
provided or preselected to use in their story. Next they will invent a short
story based on their pictures and then design, construct and produce a photo
essay to go along with the story. The stories will be viewed by the younger
students who will then be asked which stories they liked and why. This will allow the younger students to
identify, retrieve and describe the stories they have viewed. Interpreting,
summarizing and comparing are additional skills the younger students may
utilize in this exercise.
Issues to Consider: The
use of Animoto requires a subscription which may be purchased by the school or
teacher. Other similar programs may be
available at no cost. The students creating the stories would need to be
competent in basic computer skills.
