I hope that many of you saw that your children are responsible for turning in a digital story in two weeks. I thought that I'd take a minute to explain what your child is doing and point out what you can do to help.
First, I had the students come up with a script, or story. (I can't tell you what it's about; that would ruin the surprise!) They have also begun storyboarding their stories as well. In this process, they draw out possible images that they would like to go with certain parts of their story.
Now comes the interesting part. They need to add images, and then take a microphone to narrate over it. They have several options of getting images. They include:
- Taking the photos, and downloading them into the computer.
- Drawing them, and scanning them into the computer.
- Using a cartoon website (ToonDoo, GoAnimate) to create images.
So, if you're wondering why your child's asking to use a camera so much, this is why. They're currently at the stage of getting all of their pictures together. Once this has been completed, they need to narrate and add music to it, and then it becomes something that they can convert to video.
Below is my example. I hope that this gives you a better idea of what your child is creating in class.
As always, leave any questions or comments below. Hope to hear from you soon!
