Digital+Storytelling



=Digital Story?= A digital story is almost like a movie, it has a story, images or video, and background music. By using a digital storytelling you are giving your audience the full picture of what you want them to see, hear and feel. What I am looking for in your digital story is what did the book you just read make you feel like or remember from your life or imagination?

=What do I need to do?= 1) Brainstorm: After you are finished with the book, go back through your journal and re-read all of the things you wrote to help you come up with a story or come up with a new story of your own that is somehow related to the book. 2) Write the Script: Once you have your idea type it up! Make sure that you have the 4 C's of storytelling: context, change, crisis and closure. 3) Record Audio Narration: Record your story on Garage Band, making sure to speak clearly and with emotion. 4) Collect images:Take photos of yourself, or collect photos from online. 5) Find/create background music: Go to music websites that allow you to use their music (non-copyrighted) 6) Put it all together and listen to if a few times, making sure it flows well. 7) Upload it to your Youtube account then upload it to the Wiki.
