Learning with Story

Story is a fun way to get children to engage in narration. Simply generate some images and let the children's imagination do the rest.

Extending Story

• Ask the students to transcribe and refine their stories using the Sugar Write activity. (They can save to the Journal the images used to prompt their story by typing Alt-1 and then embed this image into their Write document.)

• Story can be shared, so the narration can be created amongst multiple students. They can chain together a story by taking turns; each turn involving generating narration for one image.

Modifying Story

• Add new images to Story by putting them in the images folder of the activity.
