Digital Storytelling

The unit question I chose for this project was "Why is culture significant?" for grade K. As I planned out my storyboard, I tried to incorporate all 7 elements of digital storytelling. Firstly, 1) point of view was included because, of course, this digital story was being told by one of my students. The 2) dramatic question is, evidently, the unit question being asked and is eventually answered at the end of the presentation. 3)Emotional Content is definitely addressed because this story is dealing with culture and the acceptance/importance of culture from a young child's point of view. The 4) Gift of Your Voice is encompassed in this presentation the entire time, to show that the student has learned and wants to share their story in their own words. The 5) power of the soundtrack is used to emphasize a colorful story line, since our topic is culture. 6)Economy is used because the story doesn't give too much information but gives out the learned content evenly and lightly so the audience can see their story. 7) Pacing is used evenly throughout the story staying longer or shorter on necessary clips.
