Below is a lesson plan I have created to prepare for Digital Storytelling Night. It is my goal that this will help keep the event organized and well run. The lesson plan includes objectives, standards, a teaching timeline, and other useful information that will hopefully allow the event to run as smoothly as possible. I created this lesson plan for students in the third grade, but the lesson can be modified to fit other grade levels as well by changing specific aspects of it. Third grade students, as well as their families, were invited to come to this event to create a digital story, using the 3-5 meaningful artifacts they were asked to bring. The school will provide chrome books and iPads for the guests to create their digital stories on during the event. Everyone will create a digital story using VoiceThread, which will allow all guests to share the artifacts they had brought in. This is a great time for students, and families, to learn about each other and their cultures, customs, traditions, languages, and much more through the use of technology!
I have also attached the digital story template that individuals can use for their VoiceThread at the bottom of my full lesson plan!
