In this lesson, students create a short, silly interactive story using Elementari. They plan their story with a Writing Organizer, write clear prompts for an adjective and noun, and code text variables so each read-through is unique.

Before Coding:

Have students complete the Writing Organizer to plan their setting, character, and silly twist.
Model how to write clear player prompts that always make sense.
Show the Example Project to demonstrate how coding the blanks works in Elementari.

After Building:

Students test their story with different inputs and play each other’s stories.
Use the Peer Review Checklist to help students give helpful, positive feedback.
Score final projects with the Rubric and encourage students to add visuals or sound if they finish early.
