App Description
The Myths and Legends Story Machine (by Alan Peat Ltd)
The Myths and Legends Story Machine helps both pupils and busy classroom teachers to plan Myths and Legends stories (over a million combinations are possible...and that's no exaggeration!).
The machine has eight parts:
1 Opening
2 Main character/s
3 Other character/s
4 Setting
5 Dilemma
6 Random Language Feature
7 Objects
8 Ending
Pupils 'spin' each of the eight parts of the machine (up to three times) to reveal a HUGE range of genre-appropriate ideas.
When ALL eight parts have been 'spun' the story machine collates all of the ideas into one printable sheet which can be used as a stimulus for a science fiction story.
It's NOT prescriptive - pupils can include as many of the ideas as they wish but they don't have to include all of them. Whether they include a few or every one they certainly will be learning a great deal about the genre.
Check out our story machine apps including Superhero, Science Fiction, Fairy Stories and Christmas Stories.
