Photo Story is a great software program that allows students to create movies from still images with accompanying music and narration. Many classrooms use Photo Story for digital storytelling or creating book trailers. Mr. Pane's sixth graders used Photo Story to apply their understanding of plot mountains. Instead of filling out a graphic organizer, the students participated in something much more engaging, creative and authentic. The students had to decide on appropriate images and music to represent the rising action, climax, falling action and resolution of an independent reading book. Have you tried Photo Story yet?
Check out some examples of Plot Mountain Photo Stories from Mr. Pane's students.
