TellingStories


 * Jenn Brower - Telling Stories with PowerPoint and Pictures**

Something that I have wanted to do with my students is to make an interactive-type story using Microsoft PowerPoint. This assignment finally gave me the push I needed to test out the idea. Students can take pictures, whether from clipart or personal photos, and piece them together into PowerPoint. Then they can play with design and animation options until their story comes to life.

Here's my example: [|Road Trip to DI Globals]

Opportunities for putting this to use:
 * Student going on vacation/family trip during school can take photos of trip and "show" rather than tell about it.
 * Older students can write a story for younger students, completing it with animations and even recordings of the text.
 * Begin developing ideas for an in depth writing by laying out the basic plot.
 * Students create a retelling of a story of even about their day to share with teacher or parents.
