FINAL PROJECT CSIS 115
DIGITAL STORYTELLING PROJECT
Students will use digital software and tell a “story” of someone’s past life. They
will create the story from pictures, videos, etc. and use a digital program of their
choice to present their projects. Students will help us to see what made their
person an everyday person besides being someone important. The presentations
will take place May 2nd , and May 4th during regular class periods and every
student is expected to attend in order to “support” their fellow classmates. If the
student does not present their project and miss one of the days, their points will
be forfeited and the student will receive a zero on attendance. Students should
also arrive on “time” and be prepared to give their presentation. Each student
will have 5 to 6 minutes to present their story. **No excuses will be accepted as
this is the final as we discussed in the syllabus during the first weeks of class**
A Step-by-Step Approach to Creating a Digital Story
Step One: Choose a Topic (Your person is Alive), Write a Script
1. Create a folder on your computer where you can store all of the materials
related to your story. Select a title for your digital story.
2. Begin thinking of the purpose of your story. What are you trying to tell us
about your person? Also think about who your audience will be for this
story. You do NOT want to offend anyone.
3. Write the first draft of the script for your story. This script will serve as the
basis of the narration you will record later.
4. Read what you have written and make sure that your script includes a
clearly articulated purpose and includes an identifiable point of view.
5. Ask others in the class what they think so far of your project and get some
feedback. Revise your script until you are satisfied with the results.
Step Two: Collect Resources
1. Search for or create images that can be used in your story, including;
pictures, drawings, photographs, maps, charts, etc. Save these in your
folder.
2. Try to locate audio resources such as music, speeches, interviews, and
sound effects. Save these to your folder.
Step Three: Select Content, Develop a Storyboard
1. Select the images you would like to use for your digital story.
2. Select the audio you would like to use for your digital story, either per
picture/image or to run throughout the show.
3. Select the text and any additional content you would like to use for your
digital story.
4. Create a storyboard that provides a textual and visual overview of your plan
for the digital story.
Step Four: Import, Record, Finalize
1.
2.
3.
4.
Import images into Photo Story or other similar software program.
Import audio into Photo Story.
Modify the number of images and/or image order, if necessary.
Use a computer microphone and record the narration of your script if you
are talking, or type the content of the text on your slides. Make sure that
you do not put too much and that if it is typed, it is readable, use colors
that will stand out.
5. Import the narration into your software.
6. Add music or other audio to your story.
7. Finalize your digital story by saving it in a version that can be viewed.
