Storyjumper: The brave dog

STORYJUMPER

    I have chosen Storyjumper because my pupils are at Primary School.

    I made three groups of five children. I gave them different options to create the story (due to their low level, they don´t know how to write correctly), so I provided them with several beginnings, a lot of cruxes and some endings. This way, they configurated their own story. I told them to use their imagination and try to make unique stories.

    The specific learning objectives for this activity were:

- To learn about the different parts of a story.

- To create a story that makes sense.

- To know a new tool for writing.

    My pupils were amazed by this tool. They had never seen it before, and they enjoyed creating their own stories. It is very intuitive, has lots of different images to use and they love using the computer. We did all the work in the classroom (just to make sure that everybody could take part in the task).

    All the class helped to evaluate the projects using a simple rubric, so all of them got feedback.

    Now that all the projects are finished, we are going to share them with other groups of the school. It will be a great example for them to create their own books.
