Rather than taking up pen and paper, these students use digital tech- nology to tell their stories. Butts said a grant connect- ed with Fishtrap and through the Oregon Community Foun- dation funded the program. “It’s supposed to help in- vigorate art education in Ore- gon. ... We got a whole cart of iPads, a bunch of headphones and what we call the ‘Mac- Daddy’ with a 27-inch screen. The kids write on the iPads, doing personal narrative or a story, then do a recording us- ing stop-time motion or time lapse.” The students also create songs or lyrics in GarageBand (Apple’s proprietary recording software). Through these ap- plications students create their own multimedia stories. “We told the kids at the beginning that traditional sto- rytelling involved handing stories down from generation to generation in oral tradition.

Thank you, Lelia, Dylan, Ken & Schevelle Wortman Aaron, Ayesha & Renee Hutchison “We’re learning how to use different editing pro- grams, and we even had a lady come in and show us how to take perfect pictures,” Seal said. Seal’s project is a stop-motion movie/narra- tive about her current life. Both students said the class changed their concept of how to tell a story and they plan to use the techniques they’ve learned in future projects. On the manufacturing side, the class obtained a 3-D printer actually capable of printing objects in three dimensions.

During the class time the printer is manufacturing a small horse, which has a solid outside and honeycombed in- side. The horse is an experi- ment for a student who wants to design her own horse. The printer itself sounds almost exactly like the computers on the original Star Trek TV show.

Diana Worden, one of her caregivers, says the caregiv- ers plan to gather at Dorothy’s home and share some cake to mark the occasion, which should otherwise be a fairly low-key affair. Worden says people who know Dorothy are impressed with her resilience during the past year. She says William Mauck died in September while he t S udent and Dorothy were preparing to move from their beautiful but large longtime home here (which had about 17 rooms, Worden said) to a smaller res- idence. After losing her husband of 74 years, Dorothy carried on with the couple’s downsizing project. Today she’s living success- fully on her own, but plans call for her to move to Vermont k Reanna Royse has earned e e W e a 3.35 GPA here at EHS. of th Reanna Royse Enterprise High School She is a three year Ag Science student who has challenged herself with such classes as Chemistry, Physics, and Pre-Calculus and Psychology.
