Digital Story (My State History)

My digital story was on the CT. State Charter. As part of our state history unit, my 4th grade students are learning about historical documents from our state. I thought this was a great way to give them a lesson on Connecticut's transition from British involvement to the governing of their own colony. MovieMaker and PhotoStory were used to create this digital story. Pictures were used for education purposes through Google images and Flickr. The lesson is accordance with the CCSS:

• .ELA-Literacy. RI.4.3 Explain events, procedures, ideas, or concepts in a historical, scientific, or technical text, including what happened and why, based on specific information in the text.
