In her French classes, Andrea Byrd teaches her students to use the language mainly through reading and storytelling. She creates materials for students to access online and watch or read before coming into class.
Andrea Byrd first used Shadow Puppet to create short videos based on interesting stories. Her students would watch these videos before they came into class and they’d have that video as a starting point for the discussion and learning. After several weeks of creating these story videos herself, Andrea Byrd decided to use Shadow Puppet with her students. She is always looking for ways to get her students to practice speaking aloud – a constant challenge in foreign classes – and making videos with Shadow Puppet was a great way to get them excited about speaking in French.

One of my best high school memories was doing artwork for the Hanford High School newspaper. Doing a regular comic strip（连环画） was the most fun. It made me somewhat of a famous person in high school.
Later, my mother and dad moved to get me into a better environment. We moved up to what they call Harris Street. They bought a house up there and the Old South School was across the street and that’s the one I went to.
