This digital story is about Cinco de Mayo, the day where the Mexican militia won the battle of Puebla over the French army. Cinco de Mayo is on May 5th. The holiday of Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in all of Mexico and the United States of America.
Cinco de Mayo is a date of great importance for the Mexican culture. Cinco de Mayo is not only celebrated in Mexico, but has also become a traditional holiday in the United States of America. The holiday of Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French Army at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. The holiday of Cinco de Mayo is celebrated in Mexico and the United States of America. It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16th. The Battle of Puebla occurred during the French intervention in Mexico. A stunning victory for the Mexicans: 83 killed, 131 wounded, and 12 missing. The Mexicans won their famous victory on May 5, 1862. Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with huge fairs that include Mexican singing, dancing, feasting, sport activities and fireworks. Cinco de Mayo is a day to enjoy traditional Mexican recipies and the best loved Mexican foods.
A rubric is a way to grade your digital story using different categories and guidelines. This is my rubric for my Future Now Digital Story ; CLICK HERE :]
This digital story showcases my hopes and dreams I have for the future. I share the schools I would love to attend and the careers I hope to pursue. I also tell about the hopes I have for my future. This digital story was a great way to share how I see my future with others.
I have many dreams that I hope to succeed in throughout my life. I hope to attend either The University of Miami or The University of California Los Angeles. From there, I would love to pursue a career as a pharmacist. I am also interested in becoming a physical therapist. Either job is rewarding in their own way. I love to help people and both of these jobs do just that! Being a physical therapist, I can personally work with people and help there hands on. A pharmacist also helps people but in a different way. As a pharmacist, I will be able to make, or work with the medicine that helps people become better whether sick, injured and so on. There are many other hopes and dreams I have, but these are the dreams I know i will succeed to accomplish.
I watched three digital stories from DigiTales ; Diva Tyaira , Joey 1 Minute and Tear Drops By Ali. My favorite movie was Diva Tyaira. The other two movies were good as well. Each story was told with a mixture of images and audio in a neat and creative way. The only complaint I have is the speed and length of the video. In one video, the slides were too fast so th e captions were hard to read. This made the video hard to understand. For future use, they should edit the length of the slides to be longer.

5) What are some challenges of telling this story? (hard to find information, personal, etc)
Some challenges may be finding information on each of the 10 events because they have not happened so there is no actual information on this topic.
6) List some images that come to mind when you think about this story?

The hardest question to answer, is who am I. I grew up in Staten Island, New York which is a suburban area. Throughout the years, the definition of suburban has changed. Years ago suburban was farmland, no buildings and very little traffic or noise, but today we have houses every which way you can look and tons of buildings. The amount of farmland left is slim to none. I am a middle class, fifteen year old female with a ten year old sister, Alexis, and two amazing parents. My family is of the Italian and Puerto Rican descent. I have a large family, as both of my parents are one of four. We are all very close. My family has many traditions, such as vacations and Holidays! I love to dance! I have been dancing since I was four years old with many different dance companies on Staten Island. I have done tap, jazz, lyrical and hip-hop. Music is my life! Music helps me in many different ways. When I am in a bad mood, the music I listen to can help to show my feelings, as well as help change them. I like to listen to a variety of different types of music. Ever since I was a young child, I have always wanted to grow up to be a teacher. My mother is a teacher and I have always enjoyed going to her classroom to interact with the students and play the role of teacher. My dream remains the same to this day.
