Digital Story

My second iMovie, "Nixon Visits China," is now posted on Youtube. Click here to watch it.
I had a great time making the movie, and I am becoming a bit more comfortable with the iMovie program.

To help me organize my story, I created a storyboard, which you can see here. I used this storyboard to show my students how I went from an idea to an organized and informative iMovie.

I had my students make historic iMovies as well, which was one of the highlights of the year. To grade their iMovies, I created a rubric, which you can see here.

I enjoyed using the iMovie program a lot, and most of my students did as well. Each student chose their own topic (from a list of historic events), and it was great watching the students make something their own about a topic they were interested in.

I hope to do it again!
