In this 4 week project students will work on creating their own stories using TAP (Text type, audience, purpose) and DAD (Description, Action, Dialogue) planning frameworks. The project takes them on a journey through planning by starting with a mood board, then some planning frameworks and a storyboard. Students learn how to do basic coding in Twinery to make their story interactive and engaging. Elements of AfL are explored by incorporating some direct instruction on how to give meaningful feedback. Peer feedback, teacher feedback and self-reflection are integrated into the project and all have accompanying templates. Included in this resources is:
Teacher plan - an efficient document outlaying what each week looks like and the general procedure and key tasks.
PPT- the full 4 weeks of project.

DAD planning template
