Users can create text boxes in a similar way to the Mind Map tool. They just double-click in a blank space in the tool, and then a text box appears for them to edit and move around.

Example material

There is even example material if you don’t have a story to hand that will help pupils explore the “shape” and components of story plot. You can click on the “Print an Example Story” button in order to view the range of stories we give to them. From here they can print copies of these stories, or, if they wish, copy the text to paste elsewhere.

The print feature lets the you easily generate blank storyscapes for pupils to fill out, or print the work they have produced using the tool with their class.
