Remainder of Class || <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Begin the lesson by showing students a digital story. Explain to the students that they will be creating a digital story for their beautification proposal. Have the class brainstorm effective aspects of the story they just saw.

Direct students to the website “[|Eight Tips for Telling Your Story Digitally].” Have each student create a concept map about how to create a digital story. They should also visit two other sites that they find in creating their maps. Lead the class in a discussion on tips to create a digital story.

Provide students with a demonstration on how to use Windows Movie Maker.

Describe the digital storytelling assignment to the class and provide them with the rubric. Students will create a 1-2 minute public service announcement about their proposal to beautify the area of Maquoketa that they have identified. The PSA should include why the improvements are needed and how they propose improving the area. The PSA should promote a sense of pride in our community and try to connect people to the project. Students will be graded on the overall quality of the PSA, narration, pictures, creativity, etc…

Provide students with steps to creating a digital story as described by Arnie Abrams (Laureate Education, Inc., 2009d).

Notes: Students will continue to work in the groups established during the first day of the unit. Jenny- I like the web site for the 8 tips for telling your story - great one! I also like the use of the concept map for this lesson - which web sit will your students use for this? Webspiration? Heather Jenny. Will students finish the story on their own, and if so, how much time will they have? I find that when I have times planned so tightly, I usually run over! Is this a 90 minute class? Blocks of time are really helpful for project work. This is a great culminating activity for this unit. Cathy

Students will be monitored for progress throughout the work periods. A rubric will be used for the evaluation of the digital story. Students can use the computer lab before or after school if they need additional time. They can also use the lab during directed study time. Voice thread and PowerPoint are other options to use for the digital story in case Movie Maker does not work well. This must be determined prior to the unit. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Lesson reflections and notes:
