Will vary for each team, among vocabulary is:
digital storytelling or DST
potential, kinetic, energy, solid, liquid, gas, matter, evaporation,
condensation, precipitation, transpiration, infiltration, buoyancy,
displacement, hypothesis, conclusion, procedure. |
| |
|
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. Students will SHOW knowledge of assigned topic and digitally
share this information via a paper slide project.
2. Students will successfully film the project using a flip camera,
and with teacher support, edit using iMovie.
3. Students will collaborate and reach consensus building for important
decisions about the paper slide project. |

4. Objectives-
|
1. Directly teach effective components of the DST method including:topic,
game plan, narration, paper cut outs, rehearsal, recording audio,
editing cards, final film.
2. Support students as they film the project using the flip camera
and IMovie tools.
3. Engage in thoughtful discussions and reflections with small groups
to nurture team building. |

| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. Quick assessment of science topic points using ActivExpressions
2. Paper Slide flip chart instructions
3. Share of other paper slide projects produced in our school
|
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Share teacher created (my) instructional flip chart on the project
components.
2. View several student example
3. Have students who have already done a paper slide project troubleshoot
potential pitfalls.
4. Review Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence theories so teams
can tap into watch other's strengths in order to be more effective
and efficient when creating project.
5. Review Rubric for scoring |
| |
|

C. Practice-
1. Students draft the narration script
2. Students research and agree on the slide illustrations
3. Students rehearse and film using flip cameras |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. Rubric check list/check in for each student
2. Teacher conference and support
3. Recording video and audio edits and revisions |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

through consensus and after review of Gardner's theories. Teacher
support is expected here.
2. Student groups are pre-assigned and are not ability based.
|
