Item description

Reignite your students’ interest in reading and writing as they create a story with multiple paths and possible endings in MS Word, and then animate it using MS PowerPoint. Students get a chance to read each other’s work as they peer review it too.

This project-based learning assignment gives students a fun way to express themselves using both English/Language arts skills along with technology.

This interactive story project is usually one of the lessons my students mention in their end-of-year reflection as one of their favorites. I hope your students enjoy it too!
