Creating a mind map!

Today we are going to learn how to create a mind map!

First step: Think about what are you going to write in your mind map and how you want to organise the information. Remember that you must write key words, not whole sentences.

Second step: Enter in this webpage: https://bubbl.us/019444266775277733

Third step: Click here and write the topic of the mindmap: FOODS OF THE WORLD (for example)

Fourth step: Continue adding more branches and ideas.

Fifth step: When you finish, you can change the colours or the shape. 

Sixth step: Revise if it contains all the information.

Seventh step: Check the grammar and the spelling.

Tips for making a good mind map: 

• Write only key words, not whole sentences.
• Don't write unncesary information. It has to be simple.
• Don't use a very big size of letter.
• Organize your ideas before starting writing. Sometimes is better to write it before in a paper.

Preparing how to tell our story!

Hello again!

Now that you have written your story, you must decide how to tell it. There are different ways:

• Storytelling: Read the story in a normal way.  
• Puppets: Use puppets to represent the different characters. A person can be the narrator (without puppet) while the others act like the characters of the story.
• Theatre/Drama: Make a drama of the story. It is very similar than the previous one, but instead of having puppets, you will be the characters by yourselves.
• With the digital board or images: Tell the story in a normal way, but helping yourself with images projected in the digital board or printed.

There are more ways of doing it, so you can select one of these or tell me what do you want to do! 

Writing a short story!

Hello everyone!

Today we are going to write our own short story. Fantastic, isn't it?


In order to do it, you should follow these steps:

First step: Roll the dices and select the protagonist, antagonist, place and space.

Second step: Discuss about what is going to happen and how.

Third step: Write the beggining of the story. You must explain the backgroud of the protagonist and the main problem that he/she has.

Fourth step: Write the development of the story. In it, you must add the main action and other relevant characters.

Fifth step. Write the end of the story. You must solve the problem of the development and add an open or close ending.

Sixth step: Revise the story. Check the grammar and the vocabulary.

Seventh step: Write the story in a word processor.

Eight step: Add images to reinforce your story.

Congratulations! You are a writer!
