- First, students choose one of four themes: Adventure, Fantasy, Sci-fi, or Scrambler.
- Then, students type their name and select their grade (4 levels).
- Next, they spin the wheels to generate a random writing assignment.
- Students pick a format for their stories — notebook, letter, newspaper, or postcard. (Students can opt to include a drawing, too.)
- Once they’re finished writing, they can print or download their completed assignment.
Idee zum Unterrichtseinsatz
If you don’t have a 1:1 setting in class with iPads or Notebooks, have teams of two write their stories together. After having practised in class, this may also be a useful tool to set a „surprise“ homework.
„Definitely worth trying even at an early language level.“
