THE GIRL WHO FOUND FRIENDS. by Cedraya on Storybird Love in a tree. by NDaSilva on Storybird The Mermaid who found love. by Sybelle on Storybird SHY by Shiann on StorybirdHere are the stories my students created using Storybird.  This was our first attempt at using this tool.  I began by introducing this site, its tools, and artwork.  The first day the students explored the artwork that would inspire their digital stories.  The second day, my students were ready to get started with their own stories.  They chose their artwork and began drafting their story.  The students goal was to create a narrative, focusing on connecting the events and using personal expression.  In the days following, we focused in editing and revising skills.  I also encouraged use of dialogue and anticipating the needs of the audience to further enhance digital stories.  I was really impressed with what they accomplished as an SRBI group whose Reading levels are well behind.  A couple of the students completed additional stories after school and on weekends.  They were allowed to share their stories in class as well and other students took it upon themselves to use Storybird on their own.  One students even shared this site with her younger sister (who I also had in an SRBI group) and she created digital stories also!
