Methods of creative writing
Our world loves stories. Do you like stories?
Catch the story going around in your head!
Concentrate hard until you find the story
Who found a story?
Let’s discuss our stories in groups
Oh, that is a funny story!
That’s a very good idea!
Now it is time to put your thoughts on to the computer.
Don’t worry about spelling and grammar – just write!
The words are done, the story is in
paragraphs mand Ihave checked the
spelling. My friend helped me. The pages
are in order. Now it’s time to illustrate my
story.
How do you
do this
screen’
thing
again?
We use ‘print screen’ to get the pictures and
words into PowerPoint.
A non-web project usingcreative writing
Fish Hoek Primary created a
reading scheme of 80 books from
Grade 1 – Grade 7 for Steenberg
Primary School
We created stories in Storymaker 2
or Storybook Weaver and put them
into PowerPoint. We then printed
them as A4 booklets.
The Grade 5 bookbinding team at work
One class was selected to deliver them
and read some of the stories to each
grade in their school hall.
Thank you for these books!
E-books

circle storieshttp://primarypad.com
