can let students just 'go for it!'
10. Pick-A-Path Stories

characters
• Allows reader to choose direction of story

• Children can either copy and paste images from
internet, upload their own photos, or even create their own
using many different paint programs
11. My Story Maker

• Write own story, or let My Story Maker
create the words for them (at first)
• Easy to use
• Very visual

13. Student Self Reflection
Attitude and Confidence (student reflection)
I feel happy about writing because I can write my
stories about ‘Evil Smiggle Pigs’ who take over the
world.
I think I am a good writer because I used to never be
able to write four pages and now I can.
I feel happy to share my writing because I feel
confident that people like my stories.
I make changes to improve my writing to check that I
have not muddled up my ideas. I like to check that it
makes sense.
This year my goal is to type my own book on the
computer and sort of publish it, but not really. I would
like to reach to 1000 words.

daily program

writing
• Teach programs before letting children go
