Language Arts Teachers - A New Writing Adventure
Wednesday, October 3, 2007
|
I realize that this blog is designed for information about the Puzzler Sites, and I apologize for breaking out of that design.
I know that many teachers check in here, and I'm looking for language arts teachers who would be interested in testing out an online writing website feature.
The Fifteen Minutes Of Fiction website has a weekly writing prompt (This week's writing prompt involves writing a Fibonacci Poem). Students can join the site and create a piece of writing for the prompt.
However, there is an extra special feature for teachers (which is not yet visible to the public) which allows you to create your own writing prompt for your students.
When you create a writing prompt on the FMOF website, you get a code, which you give to your students. Your students then use that code to access your writing prompt, and when they are done writing, all their posts are visible to you in a single list.
The great news is that your students can create a member account without supplying any personally identifible information, so you don't even have to worry about whether they have an email address to use when creating an account.
If you are a langauge arts teacher, and are interested in trying out this new feature, please send me an email: dtwitchell@virtu-software.com. I'll reply with instructions on using this new feature.
By the way, when you visit the FMOF site, be sure to check out the Featured Gallery - this is some of the best writing that has been submitted on the site, including both humorous (like this: A Chicken, A Dog, and A Cow) and serious (like this: Synchronized Swinging).Labels: writing
