6 Words is a Story . . .


Several teachers participated in a 1-hour Intro to Digital Storytelling session. They learned how to create a quick, enjoyable writing exercise that can be integrated seamlessly into ANY curriculum (6 Words is a Story).

If you would like to try this activity with your students, check out the following link: http://www.picnik.com/.

    This session is fantastic for ELLs! I will definitely include an activity to do this with my students before school is out.

    Thanks Sherita! This is great. So user friendly and easy to use. The potential is a wide open door. I think there are many ways in which I can utilize this tool in the library.

    This was a fun session that gave great ideas to use in the classroom. Kids like to write stories and 6 words is no problem.

    I will use this WONDERFUL technique to encourage story writing with students... anything on the computer will work... but it's best when it's cool!

    Thank you Sherita. I will try to use this with my kinder students. It may work great, as some students do not like to write many words. However, I am not sure they can address a photo with six words. I am really excited to try and hopefully will send you some emails.
