Step 6: Brainstorming and Story Writing

  • It's November and the brainstorming stage has now started!

    The French students have chosen from the many wonderful and creative ideas the German students have suggested.

    Meet in the forums to get brainstorming together!  Once your main ideas are clear, you can start!

    Why not try mindmapping together to plan?  You could create a group account on https://imindmap.com/how-to-mind-map/?  Here's a tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaFp085mijA  Don't forget to only share username and password in the private messages.

    Now that you have your ideas ready for the story, take it in turns for each student to write a paragraph.

    Feel free to edit and improve!

    If you have a question, head back to the forum.

    Another suggestion would be to create a photo story!  You could use this site to help http://www.storyboardthat.com/

    EXTRA TASK: give your detective story-writing team an extra challenge - 3 key words that the next author/editor needs to include!

    Each story team has their own page.

    Keep the momentum going and check in every few days to get the stories really going!

    Read through, check spelling, grammar and sense!
