Students in Burley School in Chicago created a digital storytelling under the title, “waste Around Chicago.” They photographed those materials that are disposable; those materials that have been thrown away by people after they have been used once only. Those students make a lot of slogans to advise people in order not to throw away the used materials. “do not throw away our earth,’ this is one example of those slogans. The student’s goal behind that project is to create a healthy environment. The students go out and start questioning people about that issue. “What do you think is meant by throw away society?” this is the highlighted question that the students asked those people whom they interviewed. Many of the interviewers described those societies as disposable societies. Moreover, many interviewers recommended encouraging people to recycle those materials instead of throwing away to the environment.
Point of view: the main idea of this digital storytelling is to rescue people from the environmental crisis and creating usable art from recyclable materials. Societies always have been disposable.
Dramatic question: What come to my mind when people say that we are near to environmental crisis?
Emotional Content: The logos that the students created such as, ‘do not throw away our earth.”
The Gift of Your Voice: the students are very intelligent in making the story understandable by showing a lot of dramatic pictures that they exactly describe the words that come out from the mouth of the narrators.
The power of the Sound Track: The story has a great music that supports the context of the story. It is very effective that always makes the audience to concentrate on the views of the story.
Economy: I am actually skeptical about this point. The story pointed out multiple topics that confused me. For instance, at the first beginning it talked about the global worming for a few seconds, then passes to the environmental crisis. Finally, it ended with the idea of recycling materials. So, I think the story was not succeeded in terms of organizing the ideas.
Pacing: The story was very succeeded in this point. There is a lot of fluctuation in the voice of the narrators. Also, the music played a fantastic role in making the story be interesting.
