This is the link to my Digital Story #3 Rubric
The concept of my story will revolve around the idea of health care, and its benefits. I want to supply my own personal thoughts on the subject, but at the same time keep the viewers opinion in mind. The story will start out by applying the reasons in which health care must be addressed. A typical American family not being able to supply for their children will cause great harm, and ruin a household. Showing the families expenses, and seeing the lack in health benefits will provide reasoning for the "Obama health care system". I will then continue with how the health care system can potentially change the way we view the logic of the United States. The next step in my story, will be to show the different perspectives on the topic. Are you for or against the system? This will all wrap up with a final statement asking the viewer on what he/she believes is the right decision. My main focus with this story is to question the viewer, by applying different sides of the story. A topic in which many people have many different reasons to go for or it or against it. A story that will hopefully make people question their views on the topic.
