Story starts!

Another fab way ICT can be used is at the beginnings of lessons to inspire and draw the children in to the main learning content. I witnessed ICT being used in this context in a year 6 class during a Literacy lesson. The teacher opened the lesson by introducing a video clip which captured the children's imaginations; she then got them to write their own account of the next scene to the story. The outcome was a success as the children were fully engaged in the video clip and were excited about continuing the story for themselves. With prompting from the teacher, this can be an excellent source for enhancing creative writing.
