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.
