**Bringing History to Life Activity**

Think about an historical event like a famous speech or memorable newscast that will be the foundation of your digital story. Locate an audio primary source version of the event. Find images or short video clips that you feel make connections to or help the audience visualize the words and essence of the content. The final product should be no longer than three minutes, so you might need to select the part that you feel is most important and trim the selection.
