Story Board



For my story, I have chosen to work on the poem and song "Tis a Gift to be Simple". I have come up with nine drawings for the different lines of the song, which are included below, although they are hard to read. I feel that I can do a lot with this idea in creating my digital storytelling project.




The content I will be using in my lesson relates back to the Utah State Core Curriculum for Language Arts, Standard 1, Objective 2 and 8. My students will be working on adventure books while they learn new skills about technology and other resources available to them. This is a good fit because students are able to address the core standards while spending time on a project that is meaningful for them. My students will have access to Photostory as well as digital cameras, digital camcorders, and other such items that might be needed for the project. This technology will be a good fit for the content and pedagogy of the lesson because students are allowed to explore with these technologies while working towards writing their stories and fulfilling the assignment before them.
