I created this digital story as an intro to a unit on ancient Greek philosophy that I would teach in a 9th grade Honors English class. The first few lessons will focus on Socrates' "Parable of the Cave" story, which was written down by Plato, Socrates' pupil, in Plato's famous book of philosophy, The Republic.
The idea is to introduce young students to the concept of philosophy in a gradual way, with simple explanations and a bit of humor. This way they will (hopefully) be less intimidated by the subject matter.
I used Power Point to create the slides, then brought them into iMovie to make the video. I used Flickr Creative Commons for most of the images; the others were from other sites but also stated explicitly stated that they were available for public use. The background music is from a public domain music site.
