This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
I have been fulfilling my lifelong ambition of teaching and inspiring children for over 11 years. My passion is to help my students reach their potential and, in doing so, discover the joy of learning.
I have the opportunity to teach 30 unique students at a public school.
My school is a K-8, Title I school, where all of the students receive free breakfast and lunch and come from low-income families. My school encourages a diverse approach to learning that inspires each student to learn, achieve, and remain committed to high standards in all content areas.
My Project
My student's love to write stories. They always impress me with their imaginations and creativeness. This project is a great way to engage my students in a fun activity that will enhance their writing skills.
Digital Storytelling will allow my students to turn their writing into interactive stories on the tablet.
My students can draw and animate their stories using free apps that we download on two classroom tablets.
I am requesting a blank hardcover book for each student in my class so they can first gather their thoughts and write their story on paper in a book. Then, the fun begins when they get to use the apps on the tablets and transform their stories into animated videos. I anticipate my student's using their best writing skills because they will be so eager to create the digital version of their story on the tablets and share their masterpieces!
