I had five groups of five to share their ideas.
First, they have a bit of time of talking and listening within their group sharing an anecdote they have recently experienced or just anything they want to share.
In second place, they have to vote and decide which idea is the most appropriate for the story they want to write.
Next, they decide on the characters, their names, description and write it down.
They exchange their notes and add something to their classmate's note.
They work on StoryJumper together taking turns.
Since their English level is still very low because they are just staring to read, some of the main objectives were:
- motivate them to try a writing activity
- be creative
- encourage them to try to express their feelings and thoughts
- introduce them to writing in a fun way
- collaborate between peers
This tool helped the learners achieve the previously mentioned objectives since it is attractive for them and it is also interactive, helping them too to generate further ideas and organise and develop their thoughts.
Creativity and the use of imagination was encouraged by the teacher making more questions and also by the tool, giving them the option to add pictures, scenes, characters and I think that is actually what they enjoyed most.
The finished projects were shared with the rest of the class as a whole group all together so they can learn from their peers as well as sharing them on our web page for them to watch whenever they want.
