Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

Heroes without Capes is an instructional plan to introduce Digital Storytelling while raising awareness about the different ways that people serve the community. Storytelling allows the students to work on their interviewing skills of the hero, their ability to storyboard/organize the story and decision making skills for what should be included in the visual and written part of the story, along with deciding the best tools to tell and share their story. These are all ways to meet the ISTE standards and a variety of Common Core ELA standards. Not only that but the students will become more aware of their community and the needs of the community, and therefore will learn ways that they can serve to improve the community they live in.
