**Learning Sequence: Digital Stories**
Class: 7 Sam and 7 Samantha (approximately 45 students)

**Key Skills to be addressed:**
This unit of work is a literacy based sequence. Students will complete aspects of this work during reading and writing sessions. The sequence of lessons is based upon students firstly exploring what a digital story is, and then creating their own digital stories.

The content to be addressed includes: //**- What is a digital story?**// Students need to understand that a digital story is a personal account told using images, video, music and audio. They are often about 'sad' events, however this is due to the need of a digital story to be worth telling. Students need to understand that digital stories need to be entertaining rather than sad.

This is for students to firstly view a range of digital stories to examine the different ways they can be presented. This gives them an opportunity to reflect on how they wish to present their own digital story later in the sequence. The sequence will give scope for an understanding of how emotion can be created through the use of music and tone in a digital story.
