YOU DO: Students upload their photos; write text to describe the photo; write text they will audio record; record the audio. Students will work with a partner sharing their Photo Story and giving feedback. They make revisions according to student feedback. || This work is important because it engages students who are digital natives in creating an authentic project that engages their interest in technology while developing basic speaking and writing skills. The project is relevant to their lives because this particular population that I teach needs instruction and support for caring for their teeth. The audience for this project/lesson is the class and whoever students would like to present their project to.
