Myths/Legends with 4th Grade!

Students in Mrs. Irving's class have been working hard to create digital stories in the Media Center. The students first compled their pre-writing, editing, and revising in the classroom. Mrs Irving noted they worked especially hard on peer-editing. Mrs. Husketh showed the class 3 examples of digital storytelling programs: Zooburst, Photostory, and Mixbook. The students then selected which type of story they wanted to create and made a plan to move forward. Digital storytelling is a great way to integrate the NC Information and Technology essential standards with ELA. We applied two objectives for this project: 4.TT.1.2 and 4.TT.1.3.

Students are still in the process of creating their stories--we learned that it takes a lot of hard work, planning, and critical thinking to complete a digital story. We'll post a few examples of each type of digital story when the class finishes!
