This lesson plan aims to teach students how to create a digital storybook using PowerPoint and iMovie. Students will choose a topic related to a field trip, class activity, or routine and work with a partner to develop a storyboard in PowerPoint with at least 10 slides containing text, photos, and audio. They will then convert the PowerPoint slides into an iMovie to share their digital story with the class. The goal is for students to learn how to create a multimedia presentation and apply their knowledge and skills to develop a digital story on a real-world topic.
