 This digital story was done by an
amazing strong fourth grader who goes
through a life change.

The main point to this digital story is that
a little girl, named Jordan, goes through a
life event when she commits herself of
being baptized.
 Her view point is that she knows this
special event will change her life forever.

Jordan goes through so many feelings that
she leads the listeners to believe she may
back down from being baptized.
 She keeps the audience's attention by
going through the stages that lead her to
the final steps of being baptized in her
church.

Jordan tells her story in such a powerful
way that it leaves a person to think back
when they went through a scary event in
their life.
 She makes one feel like they are there
with her and feel the need in helping her
through this major change in her life.

Jordan’s voice changes as she tells her
story from being scared to being
extremely happy.
 She even uses very descriptive words to
explain her major adventure.

The music Jordan chose was done by Enya
called A Day Without Rain.
 The sound of this song in the back ground
gives the whole digital story support as it
beautifies what Jordan is trying to tell
her audience.

Jordan tells her story in a timely manner
that she does not overload or bore her
audience.
 She keeps her listeners interested in
what she is going to say next.

Jordan paces herself as she reads her
digital story through the microphone.
 When she wants to reach her audience's
attention, her tone either goes up or down
as she moves her voice in an exciting or
frightful tone.

This is a fantastic digital story and
everyone should listen to this story.
