This project was so much fun! All of the hard work paid off with the final product, but I'm glad we did it in steps. It seemed to come together a little easier since I already knew what I wanted to do and had a script. I can't wait to share it with my students and to teach them how to create digital stories with their personal narratives.
I love the idea of taking a personal narrative and making it a digital story. It included a logical sequence and wonderful signal words throughout (something we are currently working on in class). And, I am always happy to see the sources cited! Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute story and a great example of how to turn a personal story into a digital story. I like the enthusiasm in your voice as you narrate your story. You also did a great job of pausing at the appropriate moments. I think this video would be a wonderful example that students would be able to relate to when creating a story of their own. I hope you and Tater have many more great stories to share :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I had a lot of fun making it! I showed it to my students last week and they have asked to watch it a few more times, they even clapped after watching it the first time. Maybe I should create lessons as digital stories!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I can see why your kids enjoyed it! This is a great example to use that would encourage many of them to add more details to their writing.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I love most about this project is all the amazing creative people we have in this class. Just by watching others videos you can really get some wonderful ideas. I think your movie is a great example of how students can share their personal stories in a fun creative project. Great Job!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter watched it with me and loved it. She is in 3rd grade, the only problem is she now wants a cat. I really enjoyed how you can take a simple adventure and turn it into a digital story that summarizes a day into 3-5 minutes. Well done, Tater
ReplyDeleteI had a similar idea to yours as well, take a small story and show students how you can take what to them would be a 'normal event' and turn it into a well-crafted idea full of visuals that support their understanding of the event. We are done with our unit, but stories like yours are a great tool to share with the kids to show them how to 'stretch' out an event, add details, and think of visuals that would support understanding to those who weren't there to see it!
ReplyDeleteThis was so cute and fun! This a great example for students of how they can turn any significant event in their lives into an awesome narrative digital story! When I did my digital story, I created it on historical non-fiction, but this just goes to show how many ways digital stories can be used in. Fiction, non-fiction, personal, formal, elementary, or secondary, digital stories are an awesome tool for the classroom!
