By Zi Ye – Miami University (Ohio)
This audio project was created for Instructor Felice Marcus’ English 109: English for International Students course. The project, loosely defiined, required students to engage in digital storytelling by creating “movies” that told a personal story and that contained elements of traditional narratives.
This project was created using Windows Movie Maker.
The instructor writes: “‘Smiling Star’ exemplifies a common and interesting ‘non-US’ genre [. . .] — the best-friend love-story.”
