Digital Visual Representation
Both written and visual text often have the purpose of entertaining,
while still presenting strong messages. Often written text and visual
text is combined, using the powers of both types of communication, to
create an even stronger impression upon the audience.
For this assignment, you will plan a digital visual presentation that visually represents both the plot line events and the theme you identified for the play, "Heat Lightning." You will include relevant and meaningful speech bubbles or captions
to further enhance your communication. You must not simply retell the plot of the story, but rather, you will choose significant and relevant plot events to best present the plot line of the story effectively.
Your presentation must be done using some form of digital representation such as PowerPoint, Google Slides, or a video program of your choice. There are no certain required number of slides.The student exemplar is really long, to show how a digital representation might be created, but you are not expected to create a representation of this length. Create only enough slides to capture the key plot events. Be sure that you are using visual techniques effectively to convey important information and to create a certain perspective for the audience.
Step 1: Examine the 4.4 Rubric to
see how your assignment will be assessed.
Step 2: Review the 4.4 Student Exemplar of digital representation and its assessment.
Step 3: Create a visual representation for "Heat Lightning" which fully reflects the significant elements of plot, as well as the theme.
There are several tools that can be used for digital creations:
- You must remain "true" to the plot line of the play and present the plot in the same order as the play.
- You must use various effective visual techniques within your visual presentation.
- You may choose to add dialogue or thought bubbles for characters to support your ideas.
- Choose significant and relevant text lines that enhance the plot and theme.
- Make sure the theme is clearly stated in at least one frame. If you
wish, you may include a frame at the end of your presentation to present the theme.

Step 4: Ask someone, who has never read the play, to review your visual representation to ensure that you have conveyed significant and relevant information that leads to the obvious theme. This "fresh eye" perspective is important!
