- 1. Digital Photo Story Mrs. Lang’s English 9
- 3. Team Up • Work with 2 or 3 other people. • Each create equal portions of the slide show then combine the portions. • No ONE person should be doing the work. • Each person should have a storyboard sheet(s) showing their ideas/contributions. • Each person should keep a time log that shows time spent, what worked on, when worked on (date and time frame), etc. • The group then works to combine the ideas into one flowing, thorough representation of the theme. Put your group time work on the log sheet too.
- 4. Pictures • Find pictures to convey your ideas. • It is best to use free, non-copyrighted pictures or take your own pictures. • If you need to use other pictures, you should cite the sources in MLA format. • Include a title slide in the beginning and a credit slide in the end.
- 5. Pictures • Put your pictures into a photo slide show on PowerPoint, Picasa, Windows Movie Maker, iMovie, or another free platform you are comfortable with and have access to.
- 6. Audio • Add music throughout to convey a mood / tone that expresses more about the theme. • Add audio/voice over to tell part of the story and highlight main ideas. • Each student in a group should do the audio for a part of the photo story.
- 7. Audio • You can record your voice into the Audacity program using a microphone. Audacity is available at school. You can download it at home too, but there’s more than one component to download and your parents might not want you to. • Mac people can use GarageBand to edit audio. • You can upload your voice via a cell phone to be saved as an mp3 and add that to your slide show. You can add as many separate mp3s as you want to. I used to use drop.io, but it isn’t available.
- 8. Audio • Google Docs Now Allowing Any Type of File Upload • The semi-GDrive upload feature announced earlier this month has gone live, giving everyone with Google Docs a 1GB space to store, and share, files of any kind. Here's a look at how it works. • Log into your Google Docs account, and you should see the notification pictured above, with a more streamlined "Upload" button next to the Create New item. • Yodio.com is another option.
- 9. Words • Add a few select words on the photo story to add impact / emphasize a point. • Don’t use too many words.
