Why we are retelling these culturally relevant stories today?
How could we create online stories?
- Think about a Chinese fable story, idiom story, or traditional customs that you (bilingual teachers, parents) would like to communicate with our bilingual children.
- Outline a draft/plan (description and an analysis) for your story.
- Draw your story. (Browse as many content-related pictures as possible for inspiration)
- Write the narration part of the story.
- Digitalize your story (use Pixton, LittleBirds, Storybird and some other online comic creation tools).
- Record your story using Screen-o-Matic, a free screen recording software.
- Upload your clip to social media platform to share.
Here are some ready-made online stories narrated in Chinese:
