How many are left?

May 20,2009 by mikelatarlow

My husband and I have been working on a National Geographic project that is helping to bring digital storytelling into high school classrooms.

One of the students in a Communication class created a stunning powerpoint story about the decline of endangered species. When she shared this presentation to the full 11 & 12 grade class a collective gasp could be heard as the last slide finished. Her story made a huge impact on the audience. I think you’ll agree that this piece is quite powerful in its simplicity.

Alejandro became so enthused about the topic and the power of storytelling that she made endangered species the topic of her senior project. She turned the original powerpoint into a 3 minute video piece and developed an accompanying research paper based on WILD’s involvement with the Mali elephants. She also interviewed Emily to gain more background information on this topic. (Thanks Emily!)
