Within Story Speaker, there is a basic and advanced level templates. The template provides some basic directions, as well as a link to the informational video provided. The Story Speaker tool bar provides directions on how to insert different features within the story to make it even more creative. Although the template is written about a pig monster, kids can change it to be whatever you want. The template just provides to proper layout for the story to be interactive for the listener.
I can see this being a great tool to use within the classroom. Providing my students the example of the template would get their mind flowing with great ideas. They could brainstorm to create an obstacle and different paths on their own can take story writing to the next level in my classroom. I am sure my students would be very engaged and writing to create these writing pieces.
I really like this app as a way to get the creative juices flowing! I think my struggling students, whether in the idea category or just those who struggle with reading and writing, would really find this activity engaging and helpful! I think next year when we cover narrative I may try this out as an introductory activity to get us into the narrative mindset. Thanks for sharing :)
