I will try to address multiple literacies for multiple students in my video. Students with diverse learning styles and ability levels will be able to learn from visual and aural stimuli. Students with mixed abilities will also be able to actively learn from different parts of the video based on their strengths and weaknesses. Some students will merely enjoy the story while others will use it as a way to learn about a specific culture. Still other students, such as English Language Learners, will use the story as a method of understanding the English language rather than simply the narrative. In my lesson, I aimed to connect the story teller's conception of the natural world to the construction of personal beliefs and values. I also wanted to extend the message that cultural acceptance and understanding is made easy by the numerous similarities oozing from cultural narratives and belief systems. Unrelated cultures from different parts of the world are able to conjure the same images and lessons in their belief systems.

My video doubles as an example for students to follow when creating their own videos. Obviously, due to differing strengths and weaknesses within the classroom, some students will far surpass my attempt at a video, while others will struggle to replicate it. Using media in the classroom, I will always challenge myself to learn with students so that I know my methods of instruction and evaluation are realistic and effective.When students are able to learn from a presentation enough to generate their own creative work, I will have concrete proof that learning has taken place.
