Year 8 - We lost our internet connection Wednesday, November 16 so let's continue looking at how we can justify our image choice and review the instructions for the storyboard.

Today, November 21 you should finish inserting the Narration into your storyboard.

We are now on to  Design - Criterion B (maximum 6 points). You are expected to create a storyboard for your digital story.

Let's refresh our memory in regard to storyboards: http://accad.osu.edu/womenandtech/Storyboard%20Resource/

1. Insert a 3-column table into a word document
2. Begin with the Narration
3. Include Transition; Music; Title
4. Color Code your information.

5.  Copy/paste your Narration into separate frames from the script that you wrote last week.
6.  Create a file folder to keep your photos/images.
7.  Collect 2 possible images (for each frame) to use in your digital story and SAVE them in the folder that you have just created. Remember that you must import the images into PhotoStory 3;-) 

You can take your own photos or do a search on a search engine such as Google.  Remember to save the URL of the image so you can reference the source.

8. Insert 2 possible images, choose 1 and justify your choice.

Now, let's look at some possible justifications:  Resolution, Composition, 10 Tips.


Learning objective  -  The student will: select one design and explain its choice.

Welcome back Year 8. I hope you had a great break and are ready to get back to work. Our task for November 7 and 8 is to write your script. Your script is the narrative for your digital story.

Remember, this is a story. A story about your country or culture. The most important part of a story is the STORY. Next week you will gather and add images that will support your story. But for today and tomorrow, your task is to decide what you want people to know about your country or culture AND write your script.

Let's go!
