ENGL $107$

Digital Storytelling Assignment $(20\%$ of final grade$)$

Objectives

The goals of this assignment are:

$$ To reflect on how a reading pertains to our life and$/$or to our community

$$ To interpret and analyze a reading

$$ To communicate clearly and effectively

$$ To explore using digital technology as a communication tool

Format

According to Athabasca University$$s online E$-$Lab, digital storytelling is $$a short story created by

combining a recorded narrative with images $($still or moving$),$ and music or other sounds$.$

Create a $3-5$ minute digital story that addresses how one of the readings impacts you as a person

and$/$or to your community.

If$,$ at any point during the assignment, information is borrowed from an outside source $($i$.$e$.$

internet$),$ make sure to reference it using MLA format. Ideally, avoid using other sources for this

assignment. Try to focus on your own understanding.

The assignment should include:

$$ Both audio and visuals $($i$.$e$.$ filming yourself and your surroundings, recording a

PowerPoint presentation, narrating a slideshow$)$

$$ Your own voice $($i$.$e$.$I$)$ and personality

$$ A well$-$organized structure $($either beginning$/$middle$/$end or

introduction$/$thesis$/$support$/$conclusion$)$ with specific examples

$$ Evidence of planning beforehand

$$ An in$-$depth analysis describing which aspects of the reading relate to your life

and how$/$why the reading affects you and$/$or your community

Tips

$$ If technology is a barrier, let me know, and I can explain some ways to add audio$/$video

$$ Read the $$Digital Storytelling How$-$to Guide$$ and $$Steps for Digital Storytelling$$ posted

in Moodle under the $$Assignments$$ tab

$$ Start by thinking of some moments in a reading that you can relate to; then think about

why they matter and whether you can make any connections between these moments

$$ Try to capture the themes, address any questions you have about the reading, and connect

the reading to your own surroundings

$$ This assignment does not require videography or video$-$editing skills; you can film with

your phone or screen$-$capture a PowerPoint presentation

$$ Choose a different reading than the one you chose for the oral excerpt

$$ Make sure to clearly explain which reading you chose

$$ Show insight and creativity

$$ Contact Alycia $($mutuala$1$@cnc$.$bc$.$ca or during office hours$)$ if you have any
