My digital story is for second graders as an example video for a completed unit regarding money. The following is the tentative script for the digital story:

“Yesterday I had to go to the grocery store to pick up a few things for the week with the money that I earned from working. Before I left I made a list of everything I needed at the store. I grabbed my list and my purse, got into my car, and drove to the store. When I walked inside I got myself a shopping cart to hold all of the things I was planning on buying! First on my list was apples, so I pushed the cart towards the fresh fruit and picked out 5 golden delicious apples! The apples are $1.00 per pound. All together the 5 apples weigh about 1.72 pounds. Next up: bananas! I place one pound of bananas in the cart, which cost $1.50 per pound. Next on the list is bread, peanut butter, and jelly. The cost of the bread is $2.50, the peanut butter costs $3.95, and jelly costs $3.76. Last on my list is a gallon of milk, which costs $4.19. I push the cart full of my groceries to the cash register. The cashier rings up the total of my groceries to $17.62. I look into my wallet and see that there are lots of different ways that I can pay for this purchase. In my wallet is a credit card with $40 on it, a $25.00 gift card to the grocery store, and some cash including: one $20, one $10, two $5, two quarters, three dimes, six nickels, and 3 pennies. What should we do now?! We could use the credit card and have $12.38 left. We could use the $25 gift card and have $7.38 left. We could pay with just a $20 and have $3.38 left. Or we could mix and match different combinations of dollars and coins to pay with cash.”
