This is an awesome site brought to you by author Judy Waite. It is designed to immerse students in the writing experience through interactive experiences that introduce them to: plot, genre, character, and settings. In her own words, “I wanted to utilise all the benefits that image, sound and animation can bring, connect this with creative exercises that have been proven to enhance children’s creative writing skills, and package it with a work of fiction that would support all these aspects.” I guarantee it will appeal to your students’ imaginations and enhance their writing.
