I have been using a game called Haluz this past term - specifically with the narrative aspect of the NAPLAN test in mind. I will have to get the rest of my posts up this week :) Thanks Pam.

Your students have produced some stunning results. It has definitely inspired me to give it a go. We have been looking at narrative in Term 1 in view of the NAPLAN, but still have a way to go I think. Thanks for sharing this inspiring work.

Some people have some really good imagination. There are things that adults wouldn't think of. Toooooooooodles :) :) :) I love the samorost scentences. Some people have some really good imagination.

Don't forget to take a break though - back logs never get to be "front logs" ?????? :D Ewan,

I'll make sure I share as I go (hopefully by next session I'll have caught up with my backl.og of stuff to do!)

The kids are just so proud of what they have written :) I will answer your questions in a post tonight, the kids are writing about Samorost on their individual blogs, and we will get a post up on the class blog about what how they approached the writing aspects.

What amazing writing! I wish I had my own class still to be able to try this with them. You've all done so well. Maybe one of the kids could write a wee post on how they approached the game and the writing. Are there any things students/teachers need to look out for in the class when doing this? How did this work time-wise, too - done little by little or all in one go? Sorry for all the questions - just so excited to see someone doing what I was dreaming about just three weeks ago! Wow!
