This video is for introducing our students a new History topic in a funny and appealing way: a multimedia resource. We want to present The Discovering of Americas, and for that we want to create a video. This video is a documentary and a musical too.

This project is intended for fifth graders.

Goals of the video:

• To introduce the topic of the discovery of Americas in an interesting way.
• To be able to recognize the importance of Christopher Columbus in the history.
• To know the process leading to the final voyage.
• To understand why that kind of voyages were carried out.

Future purpose of the outcome:

• To explain the discovery of Americas. 
• To differentiate the four voyages of Columbus to the New World.
• To know what inventions were used for navigating.

The first step for that, is elaborating a Draft about the Video: who will be which role, which characters will be, how will be the story...
And for that we have created a Google Docs.



The second step is creating a Storyboard, with the tool I have shown you before, StoryboardThat. Here is our storyboard:

Made with Storyboard That

This storyboard has been designed to show our students the way Christopher Columbus tried to get funds when he was trying to travel to the Indias in a new route. Each frame depicts different scenes with the main steps Columbus followed until the beginning of the trip.

This post has a second part!😉😉

See you soon!
