Digital Storytelling

Storytelling is a way of teaching, is a way of transmitting a message being entertaining and catching the attention. 

Digital Storytelling in class is a way to motivate students using ICT in a creative way, activitating 4 Cs Comunication, Cooperation, Collaboration and Creativity, and also a way to develop critical thinking and to present the other skills in a diffent way.

My expectations and goals are:

Learn new tools

Learn to use them

Learn new ways to use stories in class and create them

Use them in class and engage students.

Reported Speech -- Statements

You want to tell somebody what a person said. There are two ways of doing it:

You can repeat the speaker's exact words --- direct speech:
         John said, "I want to buy a car"
Or you can tell another person what John said --- reported speech:
         John said  (that) he wanted to buy a car.

Therefore, you  need to learn how to transform direct speech into reported speech:

Pronouns:
In reported speech, you often have to change the pronoun depending on who says what.

       She said, "I am ill"
       She said she was ill.

Tenses:

Direct Speech	Reported Speech
Present Simple	Past Simple
Present Continuous	Past Continuous
Past Simple	Past Perfect
Present Perfect	Past Perfect
Future (will)	Conditional (would)
Can	Could
Must	Had to

Place and time expressions:

Direct Speech	Reported Speech
Now	Then
Today, tonight	That day, that night
Tomorrow	The next/following day
Next week/year	The following week/year
Yesterday	The previous day the day before
Last night	The previous night, the night before
A week ago	A week before
Here	there
This, these	That, those

Reporting verbs:

In reported statements, reporting verbs are usually say or tell. The meaning is the same but the grammar is different:

Say ----      John said he was at home 
Tell somebody --- John told me he was at home
Say to somebody --- John  said to me he was at home

Passive - Present/Past simple

Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action; it's not important or not known who or what is performing the action:

. We use an active verb when we say "what the subject does"
                       My father built this house the last year.
  We use a passive verb when we say "what happens to the subject"
                       This house was built the last year.


. When we use passive, who or what causes the action is often unknown or unimportant.
                     Active:     Somebody stole my bike.
                     Passive:   My bike was stolen.


. Present Simple: 
                   Active:  clean(s), see(s),watch(es)......
                               Somebody cleans this room every day.
                   Passive:  am/is/are + cleaned /seen/ watched......
                                                     ( past participle (regular verbs+ed
                                                       irregular verbs 3rd column))
                              This room is cleaned every day.
                              I'm not often invited to parties.
                              
. Past simple:

                  Active:  cleaned, saw, watched......
                               Somebody cleaned this room yesterday.
                   Passive:  was/were + cleaned /seen/watched......
                                                     ( past participle (regular verbs+ed
                                                       irregular verbs 3rd column))
                              This room was cleaned yesterday.
                              When I was fifteen, I wasn't invited to parties.
