Short Story Assignment – Digital Storytelling

 

I think during my story one core competency I used was creativity. when outside looking for an item to use with Aidan we thought about how government’s around the world are trying to ban plastic so we went to search for a piece of plastic and decided to base the story in around 2090 when plastic would have been banned for decades. Another way I was creative was giving my dad a costume and making him be the grandpa for the pictures, I cut out a beard using paper, I gave him some of my moms glasses and I gave him some hat that I had never seen him use before. I also asked my sister to be Mrs. Cindy and she came downstairs with teacher costume which my family got a kick out of. I think another core competency that we used was communication because we both had to share ideas and decide who’s idea to use. Another thing we did go at in communication was deciding who takes the pictures, who makes the sway document, who edits and who does the typing.

what I could have done better at. I procrastinated and I didn’t have much time to edit the story as much as I should have (I finished it on Friday but had a soccer game and had too referee two soccer games on Saturday). I rushed doing the photos but I might have thought of some other good ones to incorporate in the Sway. I could have tried to learn how to operate it a bit better since it was my first time using Sway and I didn’t have a clue on how to use it.
