Microsoft Photo Story is a program that allows users to manage images,
voice recordings, and background music with ease. I am sure students will find this activity both challenging
and engaging.
Below you will find three videos I created using Microsoft Photo Story 3.
This video is on Sandra Cisnero's novel, The House on Mango Street.
The novel is narrated by Esperanza, a twelve year old that has mixed
emotions about her new home and reveals the basis of her confusion.
The video below is on an excerpt from the beginning of Act 2 Scene 1 in August Wilson's Fences.
In this scene, two main characters argue about issues surrounding poverty while depicting their conflicting relationship as a married couple. | Act I Scene 2 The LIGHTS come up on Rose hanging up clothes. SHE hums
and sings softly to herself. It is the following morning.
ROSE. (Sings.) Jesus, be a fence all around me every day Jesus, I want you to protect me as I travel on my way. Jesus, be a fence all around me every day. (TROY enters from the house) ROSE Jesus, I want you to protect me As I travel on my way. (To TROY.) Morning. You ready for breakfast? I can fix it soon as I finish hanging up these clothes? TROY. I got the coffee on. That'll be all right. I'll just drink some of that this morning. ROSE. That 651 hit yesterday. That's the second time this month. Miss Pearl hit for a dollar... seem like those that need the least always get lucky. Poor folks can't get nothing. TROY. Them numbers don't know nobody. I don't know why you fool with them. You and Lyons both. ROSE. It's something to do. TROY. You ain't doing nothing but throwing you money away. ROSE. Troy, you know I don't play foolishly. I just play a nickel here and a nickel there. TROY. That's two nickels you done thrown away. ROSE. Now I hit sometimes ... that makes up for it. It always comes in handy when I do hit. I don't hear you complaining then. TROY. I ain't complaining now. I just say it's foolish |
