What will come first, second, third, and so on.
 * 2-Now write out a very basic order of events that will occur in your story**

Remember to use images to highlight key points, not just people, places or things. So it would be more important to show what George Washing ton was trying to state, rather than a picture of George Washington.
 * 3-Next to each event write out the imagery that could be used to tell that part of the story**


 * 4-Now write EXACTELY what you are going to say in your story. Start off with a //Dramatic Question//.**

// A Dramatic Question: // **You want to capture your audience’s attention at the beginning of the digital story and hold their interest throughout. Typically you want to pose the dramatic question in the opening lines and resolve it in the closing lines.** **A dramatic question is posed by the narrator at the beginning of the story to create tension and draw in the audience. A dramatic question is usually not an actual question that the narrator poses; rather, it is an intriguing statement that causes the viewers to ask themselves a question.** **"'I was seven years old when I met my father' is an example of a dramatic question," It hooks you in and motivates you to listen to the story until its conclusion. [|DDN] ** **or** **"What price would you pay for freedom?"** **It is usually a statement at the beginning of the story – often the first sentence. This sentence creates a** question **in the mind of the people who are listening to the story. An example of a statement that generates a** dramatic question **is the following:** **“When I was younger I confused friendship with popularity.”** **How can you start telling a story? Common examples include:** **I couldn’t believe it when Joey told me he was moving to Oregon.** **I had the worst weekend...** **My Mom is going to kill me when I get home.** **The** dramatic question **creates suspense – it grabs you and makes you want to stick around to hear the rest of the story.**
