Steps:

1.     Introduction: Introduce the students to the concept of digital storytelling and explain the objectives of the activity.

2.     Story Selection: Have students choose a short story or a chapter from a book they are currently reading.

3.     Reading and Recording: Students read the selected story aloud and record their reading using audio recording tools. Encourage them to focus on fluency, expression, and clarity.

4.     Creating Visuals: Students create visual elements to accompany their story using interactive e-book software. They can draw illustrations, add images, and create animations that match the narrative.

5.     Combining Audio and Visuals: Students combine their audio recordings with the visual elements to create a multimedia story. They can use video editing software to synchronize the audio with the visuals.

6.   Presentation: Students present their final digital stories to the class, highlighting the key elements of the story and discussing their creative choices.
