Let's Write a Story

         Let's talk about Storybird! Storybird is an amazing creative tool that teachers and students can use to share their writing skills. Storybird allows a student to choose artwork that is already uploaded, and then write a creative story. The artwork is beautiful and will prompt the students to create a story that goes along with the pictures. No matter the level of writing Storybird is ideal for all learning levels. Storybird will take the anxiety out of writing and make it fun for students.

        The versatility of Storybird is great. Teachers can write a story for their students to read about specific subject matter that they are learning. Another option for teachers is to have students individually write short stories about subjects assigned. There is also a collaborative option that students can work with each other in small groups and add their own pages to contribute to an impressive final product.

Assignment: Read ABC My Monster and Me with a parent and choose 5 letters of the alphabet and make your own monster letter of each.
