Dear bookworms! Here is the page where we are going to write a story together. We are going to use the Story Cubes for that. But first we are going to create a special set of cubes - The Very Hungry Bookworm Story Cubes.
1. The Very Hungry Bookworm Story CubesEach national team will create a cube in the sets of cubes on various topics. Each set will have 6 cubes as there a 6 teams in the project (Moldova (2), Romania (2), Turkey and Spain). How to create the cubes?Write a word on a piece of paper and then draw it. Post the drawing in the Twin Board below. After that your teacher will create the online 3D cube and post it in the table below using the tool Pixiz.
If you are in a physical classroom the online cubes can have wodden or cardboard replicas for classroom use. You can make the cubes from paper and glue the drawings on the sides:
Print the images to go on the cubes according to the cubes in the table below and glue them on. The Word List Choice ProcedureAfter creating the cubes you will roll each of them once and put down the word. These are your words to use in your part of the story. If you are online you will get together with your team online and will roll an online dice with numbers (each side of the dice is assigned a number - see the table below) Then you will find the corresponding word to the number in the table of cubes and write down your list of words to be used. Roll the dice and start writing together with your team!
