My Digital Storytelling Proposal
Now that I have a good grasp on how my storytelling is going
to be. I choose to use the Popplet, which is the technological tool I talked
about in the previous blog, in organizing the graphic proposal of my
storytelling. I enjoyed using Popplet in analyzing the plot of my story. As a first
draft of the story using Popplet was very useful because it helps me in going
through the different stages in the story and to look closely at the details.
As a teacher for English language learners (ELLs), I decided to set the goal of
my story to help ELLs in learning new vocabulary. Also, as I mentioned before
in the validity of the learning through playing, I chose to make the story a
part of the learning process of my kids and an interactive activity at the same
time. So, kids are going to learn then apply what they learn in a real class.
My story supports the language standards for Kindergarten level, such as:
·
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.K.4
Determine or clarify the meaning of
unknown and multiple-meaning words and phrases based on kindergarten reading
and content.
Identify
new meanings for familiar words and apply them accurately (e.g., knowing duck
is a bird and learning the verb to duck).
Use the
most frequently occurring inflections and affixes
(e.g., -ed, -s, re-, un-, pre-, -ful, -less) as a clue to the meaning of
an unknown word.
With guidance and support from adults, explore word
relationships and nuances in word meanings.
Sort common objects into categories (e.g.,
shapes, foods) to gain a sense of the concepts the categories represent.
Demonstrate understanding of frequently
occurring verbs and adjectives by relating them to their opposites (antonyms).
Identify real-life connections between words
and their use (e.g., note places at school that are colorful).
Distinguish shades of meaning among verbs
describing the same general action (e.g., walk, march, strut, prance) by
acting out the meanings.
My proposal is related to one of the
technique in teaching that I want to use it in a different way. The story
focuses on developing the kids understanding of the meaning of words and
differentiating between two objects with very similar features. As in the
proposal, PowToon is the digital tool I planned to use in setting my
storytelling to engage the kids in the teaching process. Also, I will add by
the end of the story an open question to allow the kids to think in a way to
differentiate between two objects and take the design.

Great mind map! I can see your thinking behind the project. One of my favorite units with students has always been Procedural Texts... maybe it's because I love to cook!
