You will write a children’s story about internet safety
Write your educational children’s story in a Microsoft® Word document.
As you are writing the story, make sure you pitch your story to the younger audience by considering the following things:
Know your audience. Keep in mind what grade level you are writing for. Don’t use words they won’t understand. Keep sentences short and simple.
Explain things. Don’t expect everyone at younger grade levels to understand the cyber community. Some may have never even been on the Internet before. Break things down so anyone could understand.
Make it interesting. Write a good story. Have a plot. Use different characters. What do you think would appeal to your audience?
Plan what you will say. Before you write, have an idea of where the story is going, who the characters are, and what you want to teach. That way you have a road map for writing the story.
Write a simple rough draft. Use this to make sure you include everything you want. That way you haven’t wasted time illustrating a story only to find out you forgot to mention viruses. Also, this way you can proofread and perfect your story.
Have fun with it! If you are having fun writing it, then chances are the students will have fun hearing the story.
