In this project, you will create a 2 to 3 minute digital story using Microsoft Photo Story.

PhotoStory (digital storytelling) is a way of thinking about information to create an audio-visual representation of our beliefs. It is a creative and powerful method for organizing information. It can be used to convey emotions and/or build community. Our photostories will be based on NPR's essay series called, "This I Believe."
Examples:

“The goal of This I Believe is not to persuade Americans to agree on the same beliefs but to encourage Americans to pursue the much more difficult task of developing respect for beliefs different from their own.”

When you are gathering your images, DO NOT PUT YOUR IMAGES INTO A WORD DOCUMENT; IT WILL CHANGE THEM FROM A JPG TO A WORD DOCUMENT.
