RWT+Story+Cube+Lesson


 * Make Your Own Story Cube!**


 * To Do:**

Step **ONE**: Pick a story book to work with:  Not too long or too short, should be at your independent reading level, must have characters, setting, and a conflict.

Step **TWO**: Read your story through once to take in the whole story.

Step **THREE**: Re-read your story, this time be mindful of the who the characters are, where and when the story takes place, what are the main events, and what was the theme of the story. Use your sticky tabs to mark pages with important details and write out the important information on the stickies.

Step **FOUR**: When you think you are ready to create your story cube click on the link: [|Story Cube Creator]

Step **FIVE**: Click on the orange get started icon.

Step **SIX**: Type your name in the space provided on click on the story cube  icon with the red books.

Step **SEVEN**: Follow the prompts by answering the questions in the boxes provided and clicking NEXT to move on the next side of the cube. Even though you are allowed to use bulleted phrases, don't forget to capitalize the first letter of each bulleted point and write out your thoughts clearly so someone else reading it would know what it meant.

Step **EIGHT**: When you have finished all the sides of the cube click FINISH.

Step **NINE**: IMPORTANT!!!!! You are going to click the share button with the envelope icon. Your filename should be your last name followed by storycube EXAMPLE: Simsstorycube Yours should NOT say Sims! You are going to email it to ME using the email irmelsa@gmail.com in the send to box. In the from box you will write storycube@LAI529.com You do not need to enter your real email address!


 * Warning*** If you do not follow step nine correctly, your work may be lost and you WILL have to repeat the activity!!!

If you get stuck on a question look back to your stickies for helpful information. You can also skip a side and come back to it. Computer confusion: Ask a friend! Characters are the who in the story, Setting is the where and when, the events are the what, the solution is the how, and the theme is the why!
