Directions:
Finish typing your story. Follow any directions from the previous posts.
When you are finished, save your essay on Mr. Spivy's flash drive. If you do not finish today, you will need to print it off and bring it to class tomorrow.
When you finish that, take a look at the directions for the tech step below.
You may begin working on your text step.
If you have any questions, raise your hand and ask Mr. Spivy.
Tech Steps—Digital Storytelling
You will be creating a digital story
using Microsoft PowerPoint. Your presentation will tell a complete story
(beginning, middle, and end) using text and images. We will be working in the
computer lab the rest of this week; your digital story will be due on Friday.
Guidelines:
1.
The presentation
must include at least ten story slides and a title slide.
2.
Each slide must
have some text and an image that corresponds with the text. The images you
select should enhance your story, not distract from your story.
3.
Each slide must
be attractively designed. The color scheme of your presentation should not be
black and white.
4.
There must be
transitional animation from one slide to the next.
5.
There must be
animation in each slide.
6.
Your presentation
should include the components of a story (plot, characters, setting).
7.
You may use a
story that you have already created as your basis for this project. However,
you cannot rip off another author or a filmmaker.
