Ohio Odyssey 1: Read It, Write It, Tell It

http://www.woub.org/readwritetell/

Read It, Write It, Tell It is a set of eight digital storytelling videos and supporting materials that will help students with the English Language Arts Literary Text areas of the Ohio Academic Achievement tests for grades 3-7. This multimedia project was funded by a grant from eTech Ohio and was produced by the WOUB Center for Public Media with input from ETSEO (Educational Technology of Southeastern Ohio).

Read It, Write It, Tell It is designed for use in a classroom setting. Instructors may use the programs in sequence or individually. Students may watch the programs on their own.

The digital storytelling programs are used as stepping-stones to focus students on the English Language Arts Literary Text benchmarks of the Ohio Academic Content Reading Standards: character development, plot, point of view, theme, genre, mood and figurative language.

The supporting print and internet resources provide information, activities and additional resources.

In this episode, Johnny Appleseed meets a giant serpent that fell to earth in a meteor. The snake plans to consume the Earth -- boulder, by cave, by mountain. Johnny sends Mike Fink through time to pick up the "Buckeye Heroes" from the other seven episodes and they all join together to defeat the serpent. The Buckeye Heroes are: Johnny Appleseed, Mike Fink, Annie Oakley, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Jesse Owens, Neil Armstrong, and Cy Gatton.
