Lesson plans

At this stage of the Digital Hero Book Project (September 2007) we have not been able to formally align this work with the school curriculum in South Africa. Doing this is a major goal for us, but it will take time. In the meanwhile, we offer these sample lesson plans from the Center for Digital Storytelling. Note that these plans are for digital storytelling in general. Please adapt as necessary to digital hero booking and send us your plans.

Digital storytelling takes time, especially in a classroom setting. The "bare bones" plans are for when you have very little time to work with, while the full plans are suitable for when you have more time.

Bare bones plan

• Bare bones facilitator calendar (DOC, 35K)
• Bare bones learner handout with due dates (DOC, 35K)

Full plan

• Facilitator calendar (DOC, 60K)
• Learner handout with due dates (DOC, 35K)

Workshop agenda

We held an 8 hour workshop (spread over 2 afternoons) in Cape Town. Below is the agenda for that.

• Agenda for simple digital story workshop (8 hours) (DOC, 70K)
