 * VoiceThread** Digital stories, created in VoiceThread, combine images, drawings, and voice narration to create stories that can be shared with others. These stories can be narrative in form or contain research-based information from across the curriculum. Students develop skills in creating central story themes, establishing supporting details, and writing scripts that demonstrate an understanding of text structure while leveraging literary devices to improve the story. Students develop speaking and listening skills by creating the audio component. They build information and visual literacy skills, artistic sensibilities, and technology skills while making digital photo selections, adding drawn content to the images, and incorporating narration.

**Selected CCSS** Digital stories can provide information to students across a wide range of standards. Highlighted anchor standards in regard to students creating digital stories with VoiceThread include R2, R5, R7, W1 > W10, SL2, SL4, SL5, & L1.
