Distance Learning Spotlight - Multimedia Storytelling

In Ms. Emmy Talian’s world and American literature classes, students are closing out the year by exploring the creative opportunities for multimedia storytelling. American literature students will conclude their study of style in American short stories by adding their voices to the American literary canon with the American Voices Project. Students will choose from an array of options, including fiction, memoir, graphic text, podcast, and digital story, to share their own take on the American story. World literature students will have two different opportunities to let their creativity shine!

To conclude their vocabulary study for the year, students will demonstrate their understanding of 15 vocabulary words through written, visual, and video representations published on a shared Padlet. Additionally, 9th grade students will write their own “coming of age” stories (either fiction, memoir, or narrative poem), inspired by the bildungsroman stories read as a class. Ms. Talian can’t wait to see the incredible stories these students will craft!

Our TESD teachers continue to find ways to reach all students with challenging and relevant content. Thank you Ms. Talian!
