Lesson Layout

Students will gather information on ethical practices and use the information learnedwhen creating digital stories.

Students will be grouped in 3s to complete this project. Groups will research and investigate information to identify and describe major events

that led to the American Revolution.

Groups will effectively evaluate websites and other information when creating theirproject. Students can use checklist provided in Resource page to evaluate information and

websites.

Groups will learn about the digital storytelling process, technologies, and storyboards. Groups will compile research to make a storyboard which will be submitted to the teacher

for feedback.

While teacher is working on feedback, groups will evaluate multiple digital technologiesand decided on one that will be used to create the group project. After receiving feedback groups will make adjustments to storyboards and continue to

work on projects.

Teacher will offer constant feedback throughout the process. Students will be able to post useful resources, tips for other peers, and questions about

assignments via the pin board Pindax.
