Description

Along with the oral storytelling piece, students were creating "Flash" design in their digital media class to digitally tell the immigrant story. Students needed to use three symbols from their monologue and create buttons. One of the buttons needed to contain an audio clip from the taped interview. The flash designs created a digital backdrop for the performances.
