The students in Mrs. Bongiovanni and Ms. Scrimenti’s homerooms, with the assistance of Mrs. Espinosa, completed a digital story for their unit on the Middle Ages. The students chose a specific historical event to research. They had to include an important figure that was present in that time period and country. From there, they created a narrative that included a plausible plot. The students practiced their fluency and expression while recording their stories. In the end, students shared their stories with one another and provided positive feedback for the author’s craft and presentation. Some topics chosen by students included the following: the Plague, the Vikings, Marco Polo, Charlemagne, the Crusades, and the Battle of Sterling Bridge.
