Hey There!

Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to create a digital procedural text using Photostory 3. 

1.  Get into a group with at least 1 other member (and up to 4 other members) of the JDPS DMC.

2.  Select a simple “how to” as the topic for your digital procedural text.  Your topic should be a procedure that you can explain in no fewer than 4 steps and no more than 10 steps.

3.  Speak to Mrs. Smith to run your topic by her.

4.  Visit http://www.eduplace.com/graphicorganizer/pdf/sequence.pdf and print the Graphic Organizer.  Use it to map out your story, step by step.  Make sure that your steps are in the right order and that they are logical.  Don’t leave out a step!  Imagine that your audience has no schema for the procedure that you are explaining.  Make sure that each step is something that you can capture in a photograph.

5.  Show your Graphic Organizer to Mrs. Smith.

6.  Sign out a digital camera and take pictures of each step of your procedure.  Do not take pictures of students who are not members of the DMC.  Teachers are fair game 🙂

7.  Upload your pictures to your h-drive or to your jump drive.

8.  Open up photostory and create your digital procedural text!
