What is the content you’ll be using in your lesson?
The content we will be using in our lesson is from the Utah State Core Curriculum, Standard 8, Objective 6. This includes having students write to communicate effectively for different audiences and purposes. Objective 6 states "write in different forms and genres," and letter a states "Produce personal writing." Examples of these are writing journals, friendly notes and letters, or family stories. This is what we are focusing on for our lesson. We are using pictures from a self-produced and self-illustrated book. The book is titled Over the River and Through the Wood.
What is the pedagogy you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content?
Through selecting a writing project that students in my class might work on I am using good pedagogy. We are making a digital storytelling project that uses the genre of family stories. In this lesson we will use our story as an example of a family story, and ask them if they have any fun stories from their own family. This could also be used as an example of an adventure story as well. I could ask the students to predict the outcome, and use clues to guess the ending. After giving this example to the students I can have them create their own stories many different possible genres.
What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy?
The technology we will be using is the paper and pencil storyboard template. This technology helps me break down the digital storytelling and organize what to say with every picture. This is a great tool to organize the digital storytelling, just as an outline to a paper organizes your thoughts. Another technology tool I will be using is iMovie. This will help me combine images, music, and narration to create the complete digital storytelling experience. The technology of iMovie lets me add my own voice to certain pictures, and we can narrate a story as the students watch the screen. It is also possible to publish these movies on TeacherTube and let others see the finished work. This would be easy for the students to use as they can be excited about creating their own movie.
