Q2 Find Your Story: Where Am I Headed?

Creating a digital story can be a fun and exciting project!  Follow these points to make your digital story engaging and clear.

1. Dialogue/Script
If you are including conversations between characters in your story write the dialogue as if you're talking to a friend. For example: 

• Character A: "Hey, do you want to help me with the project?" 
• Character B: "Sure! I have some great ideas!"

2. Show, Don’t Just Tell
Instead of just telling the audience what happens, show it through actions, feelings, and images. For example, instead of saying, "She was sad," you could write, "Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stared at the empty playground," and use images that express the feelings.

3. Describe Media that will support your story
Think about how images or video clips can support your script. Describe what media will accompany each part of your story. For instance, if your character is exploring a forest, you might include pictures of trees and wildlife.

4. Revise Your Storyboard
After writing your first draft, read it out loud. This helps you hear how it sounds and catch any mistakes. Ask a friend or family member for feedback.

6. Practice Your Delivery
Once your storyboard is ready, practice reading it aloud. Pay attention to your tone and pacing. Make sure you express the emotions of the characters.
