I think you can vote on your favourite...I haven't voted yet, but if you find out how to do it please let me know.

Some of them take quite a while to load so...be patient.

Please let me know which ones you really like and we can then look at them in class together.

Story Maker

We are reading Treasure Island, a classic adventure story.

I was looking for websites which help you write a story. Here are a few:
Learn English
Readathon
Story elements to write about (includes sound)

Which do you prefer? Why?

Here is a website which Miss Caswell recommended which has mystery stories.

Here is a pirate adventure. If ye keep yer wits about yer, ye may end up speakin jus like a foul mouthed pirate yerself!

Write your own story and publish it!

Have a look at this storybird site. There are loads of stories which you can read and comment on but you can also write your own books too!


Have a go...you might need to download some Adobe software so ask for help from your parents.

The artwork in the pictures is amazing and you can use really professional pictures to make your book look great.

This Picture Book maker is another site which allows you to make a simple short book.  It doesn't let you save your story, but you can print out your own book.



Please email me if you publish a story of your own and I will put a link to it on the class blog.

Good luck.

My favourite is George's Marvellous Medicine because I love the disgusting things he uses to make a potion.
