The Charlestown Digital Story Project teams UMBC students with residents of Charlestown Retirement Community to create digital stories. Drawn from the life experiences of the residents, the stories combine narration, animation, photos and music in short movies to be shared with others. Residents work closely with student partners, acting as author and creative director of their individual story. Each student brings their own style and talents to the project, helping to create some unique examples of intergenerational storytelling.

**What's important about digital storytelling is the STORY! The graphics are not the entire story- they support the story. Students would write the story then plan for the graphics. Voice and images are a powerful tools when used with authentic writing.**

**PLANNING the story it vital before telling it digitally. See examples of planning boards below.**
