To be used only if students use original photos from teacher or campus administration.

Anticipatory Set (Lead-In):

• Student and teacher will discuss campus buildings, locations, and important information that will help guide students to different locations.
  
• The teacher will play a brief Photo Story with dialogue and music as an example of what the completed project should look like.
  • This will get the students thinking about ideas on how to implement task at hand
    
  • This also helps the teacher refresh software applications skills
• Teacher will provide a step-by-step handout for students to follow along with verbal instruction.

Step-By-Step Procedures:

1. Students take pictures of the campus grounds throughout the tour to use for their digital story.
   
2. Students create a project folder in MyDocuments to save all images and working files.
   
3. Teacher explains the process of creating a digital story to students.
   
4. Teacher gives students storyboard handout.
   
5. Have students organize photos taken of the campus.
   
6. Have students plan out their digital stories using the storyboard.
   
7. Students will need to research and find appropriate background music for the project.
   
8. Students are now ready to produce the story.

Plan For Independent Practice:

• Student will be responsible for collecting their own photos and downloading them to the folder they have created.
• They will work in a computer lab with tables to share ideas and use several media software to complete.

Closure (Reflect Anticipatory Set):

• We will view each digital story in class.
• Teacher with discuss with the student the advantage of having a campus map available to students starting in a new school.
• Share other ideas that may help the transition to a new school better.

Assessment Based On Objectives:

Assess students’ finished product by using the a rubric covering the storyboard, overall presentation and final production of the video.

Adaptations (For Students With Learning Disabilities):

• Allow extra time to complete stories.
  
• Reduce number of images and video slides required
  
• Addition of a background (optional)

Extensions (For Gifted Students):

Students will have the opportunity to add video messages from new students to convey a stronger message.

Possible Connections To Other Subjects:

• Create a class website documenting the experience of creating a digital story and post the projects for viewing.
  
• Create a class video for other classes that might like to try this project explaining the production steps.
