We created our own Digital Story. We started with writing our Story. The teacher showed us a lot of totally different pictures and we had to choose one of them without knowing what we have to do with it. After everyone chose the picture the teacher explained the excersice to us. We should write an individual story to this picture, and it doesn´t metters which kind of story this will be. I decidet to write a story which the picture reminded me of (You can read my story on the post : The Waterfall). After we finished with writing the story we toled our storys to the other students in the course. It was very interesting to hear all the different storys and see how different the ideas of the students were. After this we started to make the video. The teacher gave us some papers and we continiued with drawing the course of our story. I needed a lot of time for that becuse I wanted my video to be perfect.   I decidet to draw my story with paint und that I recorded my voice...

Elisabeth of Wittelsbach (1837- 1898)

Sisi was born as daughter of Duke Maximilian and Duchess Ludovika in Bavaria. In 1853, she got to know her cousin Emporer Franz Joseph, who was going to marry Sisi's sister Helene. Franz Joseph fell in love with Sisi immediately and decided to marry her instead of her sister. They married, Elisabeth being 16 years old. The love marriage did not work out: Sisi was an independent girl and totally unprepared for the strict protocol at court, an ambitious stepmother and a busy husband who struggled to fight revolutionary and separatist tendencies in the Habsburg empire… The Viennese aristocracy was making fun of her and her mother in law Sophie took over the control of her life. Her children were taken from her and Sisi was barely allowed to see them, putting her in deep depression and illness. After two year of cure and lodging in Madeira, Korfu and Bavaria, Sisi returned with new confidence to Vienna. She decided to take control for political issues and soon took interest in Hunga...

"What are the problems in my country?"

The biggest problem in Austria at the moment is I think that so many people are trying to come to the country and hoping to start a better life. Most of the people who are coming are of course refugees, people who are escaping from their own countries because of war, danger and fear. Mostly the reasons of the wars are religion or other political reasons.Very often these people have lost everything they had and the only thing they could keep is their hope of a better life or at least a life without fear. The real problem in this situation is that there are more and more people coming every single day but we don´t have enough supplies and especially money to support all these people. Moreover most of the people who are coming plan to stay in austria forever what is not possible because of the missing workplaces.   Another problem from the same topic, witch in my opinion is even more tough than the first one is that we can not decide anymore witch of the refugees really nee...

Anna is a 12-year-old girl from Austria. She always had good grades in school and she also helped her mom almost every day with the housework. Her favorite hobby was riding the back of a horse and since she was a little girl she was always playing in their garden in front of their house. Anna also has got a little brother, his name is Dominik and he is annoying her a lot because she has to look very often after him. The family was eternally spending their evenings all together. One day the mother feels that something has changed but she wasn´t really sure what it was. She was thinking a long time until she found out what it was. The two children didn´t talked anymore they were just in front of their smartphones all day. They didn´t meet their friends anymore and they also didn´t want to spend their free time outside practicing their hobbies. They didn´t even argued anymore. First she thought that the behavior of her kids just changed because they turned older now and that they j...
