For this activity I am utilizing the story of Little Red Riding Hood, available as an online Google Book, to showcase Web 2.0 tools that work well with student generated writing.

You can also use resources on the Internet to generate images or artwork to accompany your story.  Using a basic wiki page you can add your text and embed other tools such as the ones listed blow.

Tech note: All of these tools have an "embed code section" - Copy this code and add it to your wiki page. For example, on PBWorks select "Insert Plugin" and then "HTML/Javascript". You will then be given a blank text box to copy this embedd code into. It will look weird on your page until you save.

Acrostic poems are simple poems in which each the first letter of each line forms a word or phrase (vertically). An acrostic poem can describe the subject or even tell a brief story about it.
