Create Your Own

Story Studio

Story Studio is a way for students to share their thoughts, ideas and learnings in a hands-on, visible way.

The learning framework of Story Studios, Inspire → Create → Share is a three part lesson that allows students time to play with their learning using toys, found materials and their imagination. Story Studio is often used for students to develop ideas for writing, but is also used for students to share their learning of many subjects without using writing.
