| Summary: | These seven story starts are designed for teachers to use on their interactive whiteboards. Each story start is a short but dramatic video clip that will fire children's imaginations to continue the story into creative writing. Advisor and deputy head Simon Botten introduces the programme and gives some tips on how best to use these resources. The story starts are: The Box, The Beach, The Forest, The Tunnel, The Museum, The Apprentice, The Graveyard.
This programme consists of nine short drama sequences for use in primary literacy and oracy. Each story start presents a different scenario and characters, open to interpretation by pupils and teachers: for example, a girl wanders into a spooky basement; a kite causes trouble in high winds; a piglet explores a farm. Each story start ends on a cliff-hanger; pupils can be encouraged to continue the story from this point, either in writing or in spoken language, or both.
