Choose Your Own Adventure Stories use student blogs to improve your students writing
Use a Choose Your Own Adventure Story format to increase your students' writing outcomes. Set them the homework task to write a chapter a week while supporting their writing skills with lessons in class and watch them become motivated and engaged with narrative writing.
Students write a chapter each week. At the end of each chapter they must give three possible outcomes for the following chapter.
Encourage your students to write exciting options so as to make it more exciting for their readers.
Recruit parent volunteers to act as readers and commentators each week to ensure your students receive enough votes for each chapter
Encourage students to add their own original illustrations and photographs as they help to add another dimension to their writing.
