2 Truths & 1 Lie


Educational Duct Tape Question: How can I
engage my students in visual storytelling?

Autobiography -

“Steps” Activity

Students take x number of steps and then take a photo

Have students add these photos into a Google Slides
deck and then write reflectively on classmates’ photos.

Have students edit images into a slideshow or other
creation in.



Adobe Creative Cloud Express - adobe.com/express

Canva - canva.edu

“We want to give them guardrails, but we don’t need to
give them a map for every element. Let them be uncomfortable
in that messy portion of being creative.”

Reduce the cognitive load

Zoom out slowly on a student’s picture and discuss what
you see or have students write a story about it.

Randomly select different images and asks students to
write a story about them.
