Todd's Tuesday Technology Tip #14: Story Planning Cubes

Dear Colleagues,

Today's tip piggy backs on an earlier tip.  This one is called Cube Creator and it is from Read Write Think again.  A fabulous website full of resources for teachers and students.

There are four different types of 'cubes' you can make:

They are Biography, Mystery, Story and a Build Your Own. 

When you click on a 'type,' they give you a planning sheet that you can print out and then complete.

Once you've done your planning, you are ready to complete the cube:

Once you've filled out all six sides of the cube, you can save it as a final or as a draft that you can come back to and work on later.

When you are all set, you can print out your cube, cut it and tape it together.  This then has created a custom story cube for your student's project. 

What do you think?  How would you use this with your students? 

Sincerely,
Todd
