- Summary:
-
A dynamic story is a story in which the reader must make choices about the direction the story will take at pivotal points in the plot. Because of their interactive nature, dynamic stories may be used to effectively teach English as a Second Language (ESL). Existing dynamic stories, however, are usually inadequate for this purpose. In book form, they involve too much page flipping, while those stories available on computer software are either aimed at a very young audience, or use a lexicon that non-native English speakers would neither know nor need to know. A better way to employ these stories in the ESL classroom is to have students create the stories. By writing such stories, students improve their lexical and grammar skills, and learn about the process of writing while gaining confidence in their English abilities. A method is described here for the classroom creation of computer-based dynamic stories using commercially available, user-friendly software. One example of this method is detailed, and several story "openings" are appended. (JL)
