Digital Story

Attached is my first attempt at a digital story!

It is titled "Maggie goes to the toy shop" and is about a little girls who has been saving her money all week to go to the toy shop on Saturday. After she picks out all of the toys she wants to buy, she finds out that she did not have a enough money. The story then goes on to the process of figuring out how many toys can be bought with the money that she does have.

This digital story addresses the 3rd grade SOL which has to do with adding and subtracting money up to $5.00

Use of inquiry is not particularly heavy in this story, but it does engage the watcher/listener to the extent that they may want to stop and pause the money to figure out the math problems themselves and/or to try to figure out how Maggie will be able to afford the toys that she desires.

This digital story does follow in line with UDL because it appeals to both the auditory and visual learner, and also it puts learning how to make change out of money into a new context (story context, rather than problem sheets etc.).
