MODULE 5

These are our final products. We have followed these steps:

1.Planning: Students have designed their projects and stories. They have used four lessons (four hours). During the first lesson they choose the characters of their story, after that, they choose the problem that the characters will have to solve and the final moral, as they have to create a tale similar to "The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant" by Oscar Wilde .
During the next three lessons they create the story using the tool that they like the most. They do this activity in the computer room. Furthermore they work in groups to create the activtity. Finally in the last session they use "kahoot" to evaluate their knowledge.

2.Design: I present the activity using the book "The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant" that we have read in class during this term. Students understand what a tale is and its parts. Then I present this blog to introduce them the activity. Every module is an example of a tool that they will be able to use to create their stories.

These two links are two stories created by students in cooperative groups.


 3.Implementation: Students do the project in class. They work as cooperative groups. For that reason, students are divided in groups of three or four members and each member takes charge of something (time, notes, noise and material). After create the story they tell it to some partners under their age. During the last lesson they tell the different stories to their friends in different groups of children.

4.Assessment: I use "kahoot" to evlauate students' knowledge. We have created an account for the group-class because students don't have accounts. In "kahoot" there is a quiz, that I have created, related to contents that they have learned during the creation of their own stories. They have enjoyed a lot playing in "kahoot.

MODULE 4

To create two different stories using cooperative groups and collaborative storytelling students have used "Google Docs" and "Storybird".

Previously we have read the modules of this blog to engage students to be imaginative and creative.

The first tool is useful for them and for teachers. Each cooperative group have created a part of the story. Furthermore they have created the sentences and they have chosen the pictures for each part of the story. Finally they have shared their story with other teachers and other students that have used it for their lessons.

 ANIMALS IN THE JUNGLE



The second tool is creative and imaginative. Students can use really good pictures to write their own stories.  As the fisrt tool, each cooperative group has written a part of the story using a different picture that we have chosen randomly. They have created a beautiful short book. Here you can see it!

ANNA AND SPOTS

To evaluate students, we have used the tool "Rubistar" to create rubrics for storytelling.

MODUL 3

I have created a story using a tool to make presentations and create avatars. Students will know the steps that they have to follow for creating their own stories. It's time for creating the story and students have to take into account some concepts and answer some questions when they make stories:
-Where?
-Who?
-When?
-What?
-How?
-Why?
And students need inspiration. For that, sometimes, we need to look for this inspiration (going outside, going for a walk, reading books or magazines...)

Here is the link for the story with avatars: Students create stories

Then I have created a comic using another tool. Students have some problems and they need inspiration:

MODULE 2

This is the link to my storytelling using prezi:
The Mouse and The Rabbit

 I have created this story using prezi and thinking in my students.
Using this story students will do their first steps as creators of stories. First of all they will learn some characteristics of a simple story for children under their age.
 They will create a story using "The Mouse and The Rabbit" as an example. Students must create characters from animals or inanimated objects as in this story. There must be a problem in the story that the characters have to solve. And at the end there must be the  moral of the story.
Summarizing:
1. Characters.
2. Problem to solve.
3. Moral of the story.

This is the link to my infography:
The Happy Prince

Students have read the book "The Happy Prince and The Selfish Giant" by Oscar Wilde in class. Using this story as base, they will create their own stories in cooperative groups (four groups of three of four members). They will use the structure "round paper" to choose the characters, the problem of the story and the final moral of the story.

I have made an infography using this story to summarize it, and now it's a simple story that they can tell to their partners.

Storytelling is the best way to communicate something to our students. When students listen to the stories that we have prepared for them, they are allowed to learn the contents that are in these stories. They can imagine the story and be the main character.

Using the new technologies students have an open mind to listen to stories and to do different activities related to digital resources.

My goal is to create a story or different stories with my students and to realize that there are many tools to create and to share stories. My objectice in this course is teaching and learning English using digital storytelling.
