Module 5: Design

THE SUPER SHORT STORY CHALLENGE

STEP TWO: DESIGN

Session 1: Presenting the story dice app.

1. Activity presentation: How to use the Story Dice app.
   In order to present the activity the students watch a demonstrative video which shows the app features as well as explains in detail how to use the app to create the story. For an effective viewing of the video the students will be given a text with gaps to be completed as they watch the video (annex 1)
2. Writing the story: Using charts to create the main character and the plot.
   To write the story the students will be given a document with two charts. Using the dice on the app they have to complete the charts to create the main character in the story and the story plot, from start to finish. (annex 2). At his point the teacher shows the studens how to use the charts so they become familiar with them before starting the activity.
