We were thrilled to have Noel present his “E Adventure” videos on Friday! Noel presented his seven videos with the class and then shared a how-to tutorial with tips for making great story videos! We had so many questions about how he created them, what he used, how he made choices for the story and dialogue! Ms. Carley followed his instructions to start making one, and we think it might be fun to continue making one as a whole class next week! Noel, thank you for sharing your amazing creations and for teaching us how to make them!

Here is Noel’s script with instructions on how to make your own:

Here are some of the tips he gave Ms. Carley to make her story interesting:

  • you might want to choose an image without a background for your character (or use photo shop)
  • make sure the dialogue is clear, by using multiple frames
  • change the sizes and positions of characters
  • think about creating interesting dialogue that moves the plot forward
  • not all scenes need dialogue! How else can you propel the story?

We will post some more specific directions next week. In the meantime, here is a link to getting free images: https://pixabay.com/. You can also find the link on our technology page!

Next week, Ms. Carley will introduce students to their school district Microsoft accounts, which includes access Powerpoint, if they want to start playing with this medium!
