Myths and Legends Story Creator

Myths and Legends Story Creator offers the chance to read static or animated stories or create your own using their templates and tools. School registration is required and someone will act as administrator but other than that, it's very straightforward. There are also occasional competitions where writers can enter their stories, but it's a great way to explore mythology and legends, particularly based around the British Isles. It is, however, suitable for all regardless of geographical location.



Integration:

  • Direct learners to the collection of myths and legends to read with or without audio
  • Use as listening practice for EAL learners with gap-fills, true or false tasks etc.
  • Register learners to create their own stories; these could be based on research around myths and legends surrounding a given topic or place
  • Collaborative projects leading up to the publishing of a story could be used to promote teamworking, planning, research, creativity etc.
