This lesson plan has students develop and tell a story through digital pictures. Students will be divided into groups of 5 to create a story line and take pictures with digital cameras to depict the scenes. They will then use Adobe Photoshop to edit the pictures and compile the finished story using an online media tool to present to the class. The goal is for students to learn to creatively tell a story using multimedia tools rather than just traditional paper and pen.
