FIRST TERM PROJECT

For your first time project you will have to write a story for small children using Storybird, a creative writing tool.
Before you get to know this tool, remember the basics of writing a story: time, place, characters, plot, conflict and a resolution. Click on the link below and revise all these elements with Cinderella fairy tale.


Now you have to watch the video and learn to use Storybird.



I will give you a choice of different ideas for your story, choose one of them and write a draft first. If you show it to me, I can help you with mistakes. Then I will give you your login details and you can start to write your story with Storybird.

Write a story about…
·      a class that comes together for a special project.
·      a young boy who loves magic .
·      a group of friends who win a trip to England.
·      a kid who becomes principal of the school.
·      a young girl who loves race cars.
