Take Your Personification Story to the Next Level with Pages
This week, we're learning a new app to layer multimedia options into our personification stories. Pages has beautiful book templates that allow you to layer on drawings, audio, text, or import video to make your story pop. Read on to see your assignment for the next class or two (Mrs. LS will tell you how much time your group has).

Task: Bring your personification photos into either the "Basic" or "Story" book template in Pages, then complete the following:
- Create a title page that has a witty title, a cover image, and gives credit to the authors (you!).
- Decide on how you'd like to lay out your story. Do you want to have all of your images on the same page in a comic book format? Or would you rather have each one on its own page?
- Elevate your storytelling by:
- Adding in audio or text to each image to bring more detail in OR
- Bring the image into Clips and use the sticker, text, and music features to create a mini video for that frame, then embed the video back into your book
- Adding in audio or text to each image to bring more detail in OR
- Get feedback from your classmates.
- Can they follow the story you're telling with your media?
- Where could the story be made more clear?
- What other visuals could be improved for a cohesive experience?
Personification Digital Story
Emotions Tell the Story
Expressions and body language amplify our storytelling because they give emotion and feeling to our characters. We attach ourselves more to any story when we can relate to or empathize with the characters.
Make your characters' emotions clear by playing with the shape of eyes, eyebrows, and mouths. Consider adding body language to your character by playing with the shape and position of arms and legs, too!
