Adventures In Writing An interactive Story Project ~ Adventures in writing States and one classeven from Israel! Here s how this collaborative story writing project works http://www.geocities.com/ljacoby_2000/adwriting.html
Extractions: This Internet project is out of Canada and has twenty registered participating classes from Western Canada as well as classes from across the United States and one class even from Israel! Here's how this collaborative story writing project works: Alberta author, Carol Vaage, has written a story starter using her main character, Bibi, from Bibi and the Bull, which will be sent to two classes to initiate the beginning part of the interactive stories. The story beginnings will be setting the stage for the rest of the groups who will be writing middles and endings for their respective threads. Carol Vaage will also be contacting each teacher to participate in a brainstorming activity which will assist students as they work through the development of their part of the story. As well as a wonderful author, Carol is also a grade one teacher! Here is some advice I received from the author: For ideas for the endings, you might start to look at the books you're reading to the class (or they're reading on their own) and start to note the types of endings that real authors use - eg solved the problem on their own, had help from someone, etc. If you chart those, you'll begin to see that there are not that many original endings, just theme endings that are specific to the story. Eg. helped by a cowboy, etc.

Extractions: Brainstorming is a great way to unlock the imaginations of young minds. Elementary school students can learn to write creative, collaborative stories using the SMART Board interactive whiteboard as a group computer. You can begin the story by finding an online Story Starter (perform an Internet search using story starter as your keywords) or by having your students select a starting idea. A Story About Community Students learn quickly that stories are not always written from beginning to end in one sitting. The advantage of a SMART Board interactive whiteboard is that children can edit stories with the coloured pens and the eraser from the SMART Pen Tray and save their changes. Students can return to the same story later and alter its ending. Or, you can print copies of an incomplete story and have students finish the story individually. The Little Planet Times CD-ROM books can also be read by the whole class on the Board's easy-to-see surface.

Extractions: Governors State University Abstract A process writing and hypermedia literacy program was designed, taught, and evaluated by early childhood teachers. The program, funded through a Goals 2000 grant, took place in a public school summer camp for children ( n Background The current case study was conducted in a public school summer camp titled "Summer Art Integration: Reading and Writing through the Arts." The summer school was funded by a Goals 2000 grant to meet the needs of the children in grades 1-4 who were identified by their classroom teachers as performing poorly in literacy areas of the curriculum. The role of the authors of this study was to direct, teach, and evaluate the writing instruction of the camp by collecting data via field notes responding to students interacting with hypermedia software. The field notes included observations, interviews, and examinations of narrative samples. The writing program that we designed integrated the Writing Workshop approach (Graves, 1983; Calkins, 1983) ( http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/methods/instrctn/in5lk11.htm

Then, the chapter would be released by an RSS feed. Readers could then contribute back art and annotations. The key to this is that the main character of the book would be consciously narrating to an active readership that was given license to expand on his stories. And, likewise, reacting to the folks contributing. Another reader could write a detailed history of one of the owls in the book. So then Nyen, the girl who collects owls, could debunk the essay without question! AT ALL a writing career!
Classroom Strategies For Encouraging Collaborative Discussion When stories come to school Telling, writing and performing stories in the early However, classroom social interactive conventions vary according to http://www.ncela.gwu.edu/pubs/directions/12.htm
Extractions: This article is written primarily for English as a second language (ESL), bilingual and mainstream teachers who have English language learners in their classroom. The methods and activities described throughout can be successfully adapted for use with elementary, middle, and high school students. In reworking these activities for their own classrooms, teachers will want to consider the literacy and English proficiency levels of their students, along with such factors as age, cultural and education background, and learning style. The Need for Collaborative Talk in the Classroom The consequences of a silent classroom are particularly discernible for the language minority English language learner (ELL). Students who are in the process of learning English need help developing their oracy skills as a foundation for becoming literate (Cullinan, 1993; Heller, 1995; Hudelson, 1994; Philips, 1972; Wollman-Bonilla, 1993). They need an environment where they can talk not only with their teacher, but also with their peers. It is important, then, to impress on ESL, bilingual and monolingual teachers who have ELLs in their classrooms the benefits of giving their students opportunities to use verbal language for different purposes and situations.

Posted by leonard at 07:59 PM Comments (0) This is the article that Tracy cited earlier today: Where Stories End and Games Begin by Greg Costikyan Posted by pweil at 08:47 PM Comments (0) In my personal work, the most interesting thing for me was how extremely difficult it was to write interactive writing. I spent quite a bit of time thinking about a story idea that would lend itself to interactivity, mainly focusing on disorientation. I figured out a structure that would work and spent more time diagramming the structure for easy reference and programming then I sat in front of a blank Microsoft Word doc, and went, uh duh? I had a brilliant structure and good idea, I was thinking of way to make an interesting interface and I COULD NOT WRITE IT! It was extremely frustrating. And in the end, I had a sort of inspiration and completely abandoned all the work I had done in favor of a basically linear narrative that I could write rather easily. Which is both good, and bad, because I really want to write interactive fiction. Or at least I thought I did. I had grand plans of writing, what I like to call low-brow Ifiction, since most of what I've read that is out there bores me to death, stuffed full of its own importance.
