Use our digital stories in your classroom
Use the following questions to spark a conversation in English or French, initiate a writing activity, or begin a research project in support of your school’s curriculum.
- What surprised you in the digital stories? What did you learn?
- How is your life different from the lives of the students in the videos?
- What else do you want to know after viewing one of these digital stories?
- How would you find the answers to your questions?
- The students worked in teams to make the videos. What other examples of teamwork do you see when you watch the digital stories?
- Take one thing you learned about Senegalese village life and compare and contrast it with your own life. What digital story could you tell to “answer” the story told in a Senegalese video?
- Write a one-line movie tagline, or slogan, for each of the digital stories. Make them catchy so that others will want to see the videos, too.
