This week, most classes started drafting their story online. They are using little bird tales to illustrate and narrate (if they have time!) their story. It is wonderful to see their confidence in using this digital story creator grow as they become more familiar with it. Many of our creative writers are also using it at home and I can't wait to read their other productions.
This Term Years 3 and 4 have been busy synthesising their understanding of a variety of natural disasters to create narratives. We began by reading "The Day of the Elephant" by Barbara Ker Wilson and Frane Lessac and "Flood" by Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, back in Term 3. Students then created a Microsoft OneNote file to capture all of their research, collect information and images and create a framework for their writing. Once they had decided on a disaster, identified an appropriate country, gathered information about the location and layout of the country and included an animal native to their location or setting, they drafted their story in their OneNote folder. When they had edited it we had a conference to discuss how it could be improved further before they could begin creating their digital story.
