Sample Digital Story

I make a type of digital story every year with my kiddos.  During Thanksgiving, each grade level at my school sings a song or does some sort of special performance at an assembly.  The song that second grade sings is called "We Are Thankful."  The singing of this song usually coincides with the reading strategy of visualizing.  Each year I have my kids visualize as they listen to, and sing, the words of the song.  They draw the "movie" that they are making in their mind.  I then record the students singing the song and incorporate their pictures in the movie.  I am including a sample of one of these digital stories.
