Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands;
worship the LORD with cries of gladness; come
before him with joyful song.
Know that the LORD is God, our maker to whom we
belong, whose people we are,
God's well-tended flock.
Enter the temple gates with praise, its courts with
thanksgiving. Give thanks to God, bless his name;
good indeed is the LORD, Whose love endures
forever, whose faithfulness lasts through every age.

There are many definitions of digital storytelling,
but in general terms, digital storytelling is defined
as telling stories and sharing information with
multimedia tools and resources

Example – a Scripture Story in a
new way (e.g., “Jesus and
Joseph” -
http://animoto.com/play/9Fz1ETw6z
hsHFfNMWtrB2Q

Create a 30-second video that would communicate something related to the
Pope’s new encyclical – Laudato Si
For example, some of the video themes could be:
• Creation as a holy and precious gift from God
• Appreciation of the “immense dignity of the poor”
• Christian spirituality: moderation to be happy with little
• Catholic social teaching on the environment
• Jesus praises creation in Gospel.
• Pope Francis points to St. Francis of Assisi: concern for nature,
justice for the poor, commitment to society and interior peace
• Care for nature: of the Amazon and Congo, and of glaciers and
aquifers,
• Experiences of people around the world.
At heart, this document, addressed to “every person on the planet” is a
call for a new way of looking at things, a “bold cultural revolution”
