For my digital story, I am going to start by giving the basic information on my topic, which is the suicides at Foxconn. I plan to talk about the factors leading up to the suicides and the deaths in general. I would also like to elaborate on how the materials that the workers are dealing with are dangerous. From there, I am going to insert pictures and a video of the conditions at Foxconn such as the images that follow.

Next, I plan to talk about the steps that Apple took to eliminate the problems and the viewers will see that Foxconn did not do much. From there, I plan to include pictures of the dorms and more pictures of the factories. I will close my digital story with a video of testimonials from Foxconn employees as seen in the link that follows.

I would like to end my digital story by leaving it open ended and make the viewers think about other steps that Foxconn can make to improve their working conditions.
