Week Six: The Camp, a Digital Story told by JV (age, 7)

The Camp

Wow. What an experience this has been! I chose to make my digital story about a camping trip I took my two kids on, with a friend and her two kids. We had a blast. I created my draft, knowing that I talk fast, and made sure to include ALL DETAILS! Then my peer editor gave me a great idea. I told the story from my son's perspective. He just turned seven and is going into first grade. I was a little nervous about how I wrote the story, as I used pretty simple words since he was "telling the story". But my peer editor suggested that I have my son read the story for publishing. That was the PERFECT touch! We started off and we were getting close to six minutes, so it was TOO LONG! I sent him to play and revised. We sat down again, and we nailed our time-limit of 5 minutes! He did great! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. So glad to have this!!

*My pictures are watermarked by StoryboardThat.com. I used this site to create all my images, for free. It did get tricky, but with deleting and creating it was made possible. When I chose my topic, images did not come to mind. Unfortunately, I did not have but a couple pictures from our camping trip. This site was VERY easy to use, download, and upload! With the free trial- they do watermark all images. But I did do all the creating!
