Brief Explanation of Activity

Just as “Story Pirates” took Aliyah’s original story and embellished it, students will co-create a story using each other's ideas to create something. Ideally, the younger students will create the story and the older students will record it (voice to text program). The older students will then add to the story, clarify aspects, fill in parts, make it more descriptive to produce a final polished piece that stays true to their buddies original ideas.

Success Criteria/Assessment

The enjoyment of writing with a buddy.
