PE4_Storyjumper

Storyjumper has some assets that will help my students brainstorm before going to the computer lab.

Here is a scaffold for story building

Here are character development questions

I am going to create an instructional video for my students and have them plan their story on monday. We will go to the computer lab on Tuesday.

Here are Challenge  examples

Here are motivation examples

Here are setting examples

Here are obstacle examples

The students are going to have a ball with these activators. I am optimistic that they will spend more than 30 minutes planning their stories. The plots may become interwoven to a complexity of a Dickens novel.

Importing pictures from their home computers will be an option that will only be used if student's really take ownership of this project.  I hope they do. If any student purchases a hard copy of their book, it would be even more of a testament to their pride in their work. 

Here is the first run on my training video...
