Learning a Second Language
Borrowed from Flikr archive user: Jen

This digital storybook can be used in the beginning of the year of at the first level or learning a new foreign language to help students understand the meaning and value behind learning a new language. Often students who dont find value in what they are learning will have difficulty in or wont put effort into their studies of that subject.
If I were to use digital story telling, I would have students create a similar slide show of researching the uses of a foreign language on the Internet, or have them make a "What I did over the summer" story to have them narrate at the beginning of the year a small amount of information about themselves. The objectives of the majority of digital storytelling lessons or projects should focus on getting to know more about a student while checking to see that they have understood and accomplished the task or content.
