“If people aren’t taught the language of sound and images,

shouldn’t they be considered as

illiterate as if they left college without being able

to read or write?”

-George Lucas

Step 1: Proposal

• Have students create a proposal of what idea or topic they’d like to do a digital story on.

• This is a great way to practice creating an argument and convincing an audience to follow your ideas.

Step 2: Research

• Students need to ensure they are well-versed in whatever narrative or process they are going to work with. Require that students conduct, record, and cite their research!

Step 3: Write a Script

• When research is finished, students will write out the narration and/or dialogue that needs to go along with the story. They should include “stage directions” too!
