7 Elements of Digital Story Telling

Teaching teachers and students the basic tools to grow a garden will intergrade math, science, social studies, and reading. It is a great hands on project and can be a great opportunity to focus on all core subjects with one project. My unit plan will be a wonderful experience for all children.


The seven elements of Digital Story Telling are related to my storyboard for the following reasons:

1. Point of View - I simply started with my view on the basic and most simpliest tools to plant a flower.
2. Dramatic Question - This will be located at the end of the video when the viewers will be able to see the end product, a fully grown plant or flower.
3. Emontional Content - The importance of planting flowers is good for the bee population to continue to pollanate and carry it over the enviornment.
4. The gift of your voice - My voice will be spoken in a calm manner.
5. The power of soundtrack - The soundtrack will touch on a calm but soothing melody and also the sounds of digging, and children having a good time planting.
6. Economy - Growing a garden can have an overwhelming amount of information, so I chose to focus on growing a plant or flower.
7. Pacing - I think the amount of time for each clip is long enough for the viewers to absorb the information. The clips are short and straight to the point.
