Johnny Appleseed: 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.

The episode begins with some factual information about Johnny Appleseed who traveled through Ohio selling and giving away apple trees and apple seeds. The tall tale portion of the episode finds Johnny dealing with a giant bear with a thorn bush stuck in its paw -- and then the jealous Ant brothers, Ignor Ant and Arrog Ant.
