This story maker would be great to use with elementary students who are learning about how words come together to create sentences and stories. The tool would be an excellent resource for students who struggle with writing and need a visual to help them see the relationship between text and pictures. It works kind of like a game, allowing students to select characters, backgrounds, plots, and items so that they can create their own stories. Students are allowed to see the images they create and, as they create these images, the story maker builds the text to tell the story so that students can see how writing comes together. Students are also given the ability to change the text and incorporate animations. Finally, students are given a code that lets them share the story they created with others.

I've used this many times in my classroom. The students love it!

I think this would be a fun alternative to the traditional book report. Students are introduced to the five story elements in Session One. In Session Two students use Comic Creator Student Interactive to create a six-frame comic strip to map story elements from a story they have read.

After seeing Adam Saenz at the QE Annual Convention last week in Madison, and hearing his inspirational story our district's leadership team decided that this is someone our staff should hear.

Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 - November 8, 1978) was an American illustrator and painter of the 20th-century. His works are famous. Great to discuss his paintings but to discuss details and historical moment. Then, can you tell the story just from the picture

This is a great lesson to use with elementary students to analyze text and meet Common Core standards. I liked that this lesson also uses Amelia Bedelia because you can then also discuss language and meaning and how her chores are always funny since she is literally doing what she hears.
