FINAL PROJECT: DIGITAL STORYTELLING PROJECT
Students will use digital software and tell a "story" of someone's past life. They will create the story from pictures, videos, etc. and use Power Point Only to create and turn their presentation to present their projects. Students will help us to see what made their person an everyday person besides being someone important.
The presentations will take place Finals Week during regular class periods and every student is expected to attend in order to "support" their fellow classmates.
If the student does not present their project and miss one of the days, their points will be forfeited and the student will receive a zero on attendance.
Students should also arrive on "time" and be prepared to give their presentation. Each student will have 5 to 5.30 (no longer) minutes to present their story. **No excuses will be accepted as this is the Lab portion of the Final as we discussed in the syllabus during the first weeks of class**
A Step-by-Step Approach to Creating a Digital Story
Step One: Choose a Topic (Your person is Alive), Write a Script
1. Create a folder on your computer where you can store all of the materials related to your story. Select a title for your digital story.
2. Begin thinking of the purpose of your story. What are you trying to tell us about your person? Also think about who your audience will be for this story. You do NOT want to offend anyone.
3. Write the first draft of the script for your story. This script will serve as the basis of the narration you will use later.
4. Read what you have written and make sure that your script includes a clearly articulated purpose and includes an identifiable point of view.
5. Ask others in the class what they think so far of your project and get some feedback. Revise your script until you are satisfied with the results.
Step Two: Collect Resources
1. Search for or create images that can be used in your story, including; pictures, drawings, photographs, maps, charts, etc. Save these in your folder.
2. Try to locate audio resources such as music, videos, speeches, interviews, and sound effects. (videos should Not be more than 1 min. of your presentation). Save these to your folder.
Step Three: Select Content, Develop a Storyboard
1. Select the images you would like to use for your digital story.
2. Select the audio you would like to use for your digital story, either per picture/image or to run throughout the show.
3. Select the text and any additional content you would like to use for your digital story.
4. Create a storyboard that provides a textual and visual overview of your plan for the digital story.(You will be given a starting template to follow).
Step Four: Import, Record, Finalize
1. Insert images into Power Point 2016 program.
2. Insert audio, and/or video.
3. Modify the number of images and/or image order, if necessary.
4. Use a computer microphone and record the narration of your script if you are talking, or type the content of the text on your slides. Make sure that you do not put too much and that if it is typed, it is readable, use colors that will stand out.
5. Add music or other audio to your story.
6. Finalize your digital story by saving it in a version that can be viewed (.wmv or .mp4) in the classroom after you are finished with your power point and knowing how much time your movie is.
Step Five: Demonstrate, Evaluate, Replicate
1. Present your digital story to your teacher and classmates.
2. Gather feedback about how the story could have been improved, or expanded.
3. Congratulate yourself on a job well done!!!
