Tell me about your digital story. How do you think we can use digital stories to tell a story? What would be a good story and what would be a bad story? Can you tell me what you would create a story on? What kind of audio could you use for a story? Sound effects? Text?
 * Lesson Plan**

Show students how to add music to a story. Show the use of text and how it can be fast or slow. Show some sound effects.
 * **Steps /activities – including plans for catering for individual differences**

Students will add special effects, audio and text to their digital stories.
 * **Conclusion**

 * Assessment for Learning:**

Summative assessment: Students to complete a presentation with audio and text.
