  • Join to access all included materials

Bring digital storytelling to your language arts class! To begin, learners select their own topic, such as a poem that reflects a life experience they had or a historical figure who interests them. Then they work to create a storyboard and eventually a digital presentation that tells the story of their selected topic through pictures. A great instructional activity idea, these activities could easily be adapted to the study of poetry, historical figures, or even earth science concepts.
