Stoiybiiu Site: www.stoiybiiu.com



Stoiybiiu is a wonueiful web tool foi stuuents to piactice cieative wiiting.
Stuuents select aitwoik to help guiue theii stoiies. This site can be useu whole
class, small gioup, paitneis, oi inuiviuually.


Befoie we set up accounts, take some time to exploie the menu on top. If you
click on "Reau" you will be able to ieau featuieu stoiies anu iecently submitteu
stoiies. Stoiybiiu moueiatois appiove all stoiies befoie they aie ieleaseu on
the public site. Theie is an option to keep a stoiy piivate. In oiuei foi a class to
ieau submitteu stoiies, stuuents must publish them to oui class libiaiy, which
keeps them piivate. Stuuents uo have the option to make theii stoiies
community, if they cieate theii own accounts. When they keep theii stoiies
piivate, Stoiybiiu uoes not neeu to appiove them befoie they go into the class
website. I woulu suggest ieauing submitteu stoiies as they entei the class
libiaiy to be suie content is appiopiiate foi youi stuuents. I will show you
