Digital Storytelling

Tell me a story daddy! Jokes, George and the cherry tree, Honest Abe. A great story is at the core of education. Common Core requires that students create narratives from kindergarten on. Kids love to tell stories so much so we have to cut them off in class. They say,"can I just tell you.... " Let's give them a device and have them save it for later to bank it for later refinement.... It is still writing when they dictate it to a device and the device does the typing... Let's get them published! We will look at the hows of great story telling as well as the tools that get children to share them with you, classmates, family and the world.

Andrew Stanton on Telling Stories:

1. Make me care

2. Make a promise that the story will lead to a worth while place.

3. Make the audience work for their meal.

4. Organize an absence of information

5. The Unifying theory of 2+2-- That is, make them put it together.

6. The main character must have a spine-- acknowledge what drive you.

7. Change is fundamental in story.

8. Drama is anticipation mingled with uncertainty.

9. Like your main character.

10. Story has a theme, a meaning.

11. can you invoke wonder?

12.Use what you know -- capture truth from experience.

If there's no moral to the story there is no story.

Publish the story for all to see,

for comments....I'm so glad I left that comment...

 for encouragement

 for a reason to correct spelling and grammar. 

They may not need to for the teacher but for the world or grandma.....

A story is never done... it can be told over and over again
