2. The second site I found was storybird.com. This is a site for storytelling. A user can create and write a story. When starting a story users can pick art that is already on the site or search themes. Once a theme is picked, pictures are laid out on a template to choose from. It prompts the user where to write and how to add or remove a page. This site also allows users to share their story with others. You can also read others’ stories.
I think this is a great site to use to with all my kids to encourage writing and reading. I could use it in all curricular areas for kids to write stories. In math my kids are starting to learn about algebra. Students could write stories about algebraic expressions and how the numbers and variables came together to be an equation. This would also be a good activity to use with English Language Learners (ELL) as well. They can create a story with few words, but can use pictures to help convey the meaning of the story.
