I "jumped in" and will be keeping a journal as I tool around and try to make a story about fractions. I hope that if I make a story that is engaging enough I will only have to teach reducing fractions 10,000 more times this year.
Oh No! No spell check. I will love to see what the students spell in their storybird story. I guess I need to get my journal of What Students Said or Wrote ready.
Okay this program lends itself to including dialogue. The hilarious characters that you can put in the story are just begging to get a voice. I am having a blast making them come to life.
I am having trouble focusing on putting the math content in and not focusing on the plot of the story.
I think I am going to scrap this book and focus on literacy (boo!)

This is a really great idea to get students writing. I can see Storybird being used at all age levels. In addition, I like your write-up on the topic. It is very lively!
ReplyDeleteI love Storybird. You should post a link to your story when it's done. I bet it's hilarious!
