Digital Storytelling

Lots going on for the end of the school year! These next few posts will be to share the big projects we have completed over this last quarter.  First up are the videos my 7th and 8th graders made about their literature circle books.  It was our first time (mine included) doing digital storytelling.  The students wrote Storyboards (sorta, some groups better than others :) lesson learned for next time!) and then created videos using iMovie and iMotionHD on the iPads to retell their books.  It is definitely a first effort but we learned a lot about how to make it better for next time.  Enjoy the videos! 


The Chocolate War 
By Robert Cormier

The Outsiders 
By S.E. Hinton

Reality Check 
By Peter Abrahams 
(lots of bloopers in this one, if they spent as much time writing scripts as they did laughing they would have had an awesome video!) To learn more about this book see the students posts reflecting on their reading.
