Writing a Narrative © 1983 MECC [Minnesota Educational Computing Corp.]

Interactive guidance for young authors.

The computer's open-ended questioning triggers ideas and emphasizes the importance of the student's imagination. Students learn story-starting techniques, use their own experiences in discovering key elements of narrative structure, and observe the importance of narrative perspective. A printer can be used to provide students with copies of their pre-writing ideas for further development.
