How It Works

This site is a collection of over 20,000 stories written by children all over the planet! This site also offers a pen-pal connection for children around the world that are interested in writing. Stories are not accepted for publication over the summer. An award winning site for young writers. An excellent site!

In the Classroom

This site would be an excellent motivating tool for students participating in writing and literature. Save the site as a learning center or station, and allow students both to peruse the stories and submit their own stories to be published. Stories are separated by genre, making it easier to tailor student’s focus during a particular unit. During a poetry unit, instruct students to examine only the poetry and to submit their own. Very useful site to inspire and motivate students through the use of their peer’s work!

Castles in Wales

K-11 0 favorites 0 promising practices http://www.castlewales.com/ Last updated: Fri, 08/27/2021 - 11:47 share

How It Works

Learn about castles, Pre-Modern Europe, and more.

In the Classroom

Use this site as an introductory activity before beginning a lesson on the always interesting subject of castles, and why they were so important in Pre-Modern Europe. Students always seem to love looking at castles, so let students peruse the site in cooperative learning groups. Have groups search the site for the castle they think would offer the best protection in the time period being studied, and describe what qualities make it the best. Use an online poster creator for students to argue their cases, such as Padlet (<a href="/single.cfm?id=10007">reviewed here</a>).
