Digital storytelling can be an effective strategy for teaching social studies in 3 sentences or less: 1) It allows students to connect themselves to historical events and concepts in a creative way. 2) The strategy is proposed for use at the end of units to review material in a fun project that students work on in groups. 3) Adaptations are suggested for students with disabilities, such as ensuring enough support and grouping approaches.

10. I used the digital storytelling strategy to create my lesson. In it the students will be creating their own stories in groups of three to four students as a project for the end of units. Also, they are able to look at other groups stories and review for upcoming quizzes and tests. All of the projects will be saved and be able to be accessed for exams, such as midterms and finals.
