Psalm 23
1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
We are going to divide Psalm 23 to create a collaborative visual representation in Google Slides. I have assigned each of you a verse and a slide on which to type this verse and illustrate it in any way you wish! This will be a nice introduction to digital storytelling.

How to Integrate Digital Storytelling
Digital Storytelling can be integrated in any number of ways:
-
Create a virtual tour of a country or historical place.
-
Create a public service announcement on an important local or world issue.
-
Simulate an interview of a historical character.
-
Simulate a debate on a historical topic, such as the Bill of Rights.
-
Create a presentation based on images of local artifacts and architecture.
Low-tech option: Paper Slide Storytelling
Using a smartphone, an iPad, or Chromebook with a camera, have your student make a paper slide video to explain a process in math class, singular or plural nouns, types of communities, or the parts of a cell! The ideas are endless! Students can work individually, with a partner, or in a larger group! Here are directions about how to make a paper slide video! Let me show how my 7th graders explain adding and subtracting integers!
