Over the next six weeks your task will be to create a digital story. You will be learning all about digital storytelling in class and through researching online. But it's up to you to decide how you will make your story! What you need to remember is that your digital story is going to be presented to a year one class at the end of the six weeks.

In week one you will get to meet your year one buddy class.You will need to find out what they are interested in and think about what little kids like about stories, because you will be making the book for them. You can do this by asking the year ones questions about what they like. Below is a word document which has some sample questions you may want to use:

The answers you gather here will help you to get to know your buddy and find out what they love! To complete this task you will be put into groups of three, together you will be deciding on the topic of your story as well as what technology you will use to make your digital story. A great way to come up with ideas is to brainstorm, you can use the worksheet below to help organise these ideas. But don't forget to think about your buddies and what they would like to see in the story! By week four your group should have a pretty good idea about what your story is going to be about. So now you can decide on how you will make your digital story!! Make sure you have spent plenty of time doing the following before deciding on this:

-Research digital storytelling -Read books written for younger children -Check out the links on the resources page -Brainstorm ideas with your group -write a story!

The final three weeks of class time will be dedicated to making your digital story. The topic you choose is totally up to your group. Just remember it must be interesting and fun for a year one class. You could take photos, draw pictures, record a puppet show or what ever you can think of really! You are only limited by your imagination. At the end of the six weeks will be the launch of your digital stories. Your parents will be invited to attend and your group's final digital story will be presented to the year one buddy class.
