You don't need to write any code to create a simple story with Twine, but you can extend your stories with variables, conditional logic, images, CSS, and JavaScript when you're ready.

Twine publishes directly to HTML, so you can post your work nearly anywhere. Anything you create with it is completely free to use any way you like, including for commercial purposes.

The latest version of Twine is 2.8.1, released 3 January 2024.

Looking for the 1.x version of Twine? It's on the IF Archive.

The Twine Reference is a guide to the Twine user interface. If you're new to Twine, start here.

Once you're familiar with Twine, you should learn more about the story format you're using. Story formats are like game engines, and determine the features you'll have access to and the way you'll write code.

The Twine Cookbook has advice on how to choose a story format and easy-to-follow examples of how to accomplish common tasks with each of Twine's built-in formats.

Each of Twine's built-in story formats has an online guide:

Chris Klimas, who created Twine and leads its development, has a Patreon.

You can also make donations in support of Twine to The Interactive Technology Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides support for the infrastructure of the interactive fiction community.

Some story format developers also accept donations. Visit the web site of the story format you use to find out how you can support continued development.

Non-financial support is important, too. You can help someone out with a question, contribute to the Cookbook, create tutorials of your own, help fix bugs in Twine or its story formats, or translate Twine's user interface to another language.

How can I display the Inquiry Cycle in my PYP classroom?

This Inquiry Cycle poster can be used by teachers and learners to keep track of where they are up to in the Inquiry Cycle during a PYP Unit of Inquiry. It is based on the Kath Murdoch inquiry cycle, and includes prompts and reminders as a guide for what can be done during each stage of the cycle.

PYP students are encouraged to use their initiative to take responsibility and ownership of their learning. They will aim to learn through inquiry and reflecting on their learning. PYP students will also develop knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and the attributes of the International Baccalaureate Learner profile to make a difference in their lives, their communities, and more.

Our selection of brilliant IB PYP resources are the perfect way to create an engaging and positive working environment for students. Studies show that the places students work in have a significant effect on their chances of success. By using these informative and visually stimulating posters, you can be sure that your students are completely immersed in the subjects they are learning.

More resources related to the IB PYP Inquiry Cycle

PYP Inquiry Cycle Visible Learning Labels - These PYP Inquiry Cycle Visible Learning Labels can be cut out and added to the evidence of learning in your classroom environment. They will help students understand what the stages of the Inquiry Cycle look like as real-life learning and action.

PYP Inquiry Cycle: The Scientific Method - Prompts Display - This resource scaffolds the connections that both teachers and students can make between the PYP Inquiry Cycle and the scientific method (sometimes referred to as the scientific process).

PYP Taking Action Ideas - Learners should feel like they have made a difference to the world after taking action, whether it be big or small. These ideas support and encourage independent inquiry, and can be used if learners are having trouble thinking of a meaningful action to take.

You might also like these PYP Learner Profile Posters - they're great for helping your students remember the key qualities for the PYP.

What does the IB PYP Inquiry Cycle consist of?

The IB PYP Inquiry Cycle consists of the following concepts:

Taking action - how does our learning help ourselves or others?

Making conclusions - did we answer all of our questions?

Going further - how will we show our learning?

Turning in - what experiences do we have with the topic?

Finding out - where can we find our information?

Sorting out - what is the relevant information?

Life is better when you have odd friends. I discovered this when I introduced my friends Bobby and China. They're both interesting, fun and incredibly brilliant kids who do Google searches on absolutely everything. When they met, they pulled out their phones and began looking up ways to top each other.

"So your name is China," Bobby said with a snort. "That's a silly name."

With a haughty sniff, China tipped up her chin and said, "I'll have you know that according to the dictionary I use, china is a fine, elegant material used in the creation of beautiful artistic creations."

Bobby jumped around, wriggling from side to side. "Bob means to go up and down like this."

"And you called 'China' silly?" China crossed her arms. "I'll also have you know that China is a huge country with the most people in the world."

"Bobby is what British people call their police officers," Bobby responded. "That's pretty cool."

I was about to point out that a bob is also a hair style, but I didn't want to interrupt the fun as they continued their battle of information. China was busy searching Google again.

"Oh, yeah?" China countered. "The traditional British beverage is tea and what do you think your bobby would drink his tea from? A tea cup made out of china! And where do you think tea comes from? China."

"Not always," Bobby said. "What about tea from India? Or tea from Argentina? Kenya sells more tea than China."

"Kenya? Isn't he some sort of rapper?"

Bobby started laughing so hard, he snorted out of his nose, making China laugh even harder.

Yes, Bobby and China are very different kids. Both Bobby and China go online to their favorite kids' search engine see what they can see and learn what they can learn. Both Bobby and China enjoy using Google to make their lives and their friendships more interesting. They are odd and that's what makes them as fun as a roller coaster.

After this exchange, Bobby and China ended up challenging each other to a game of Chinese checkers. I went with them to watch them play, but I couldn't concentrate.

I was thinking about how challenging each other and doing it with real information and a playful attitude made their friendship stronger while enriching their lives. Not only can it be done by searching Google safely, but kids can also learn playing Google games that also teach online safety.

Bobby and China showed me how much fun information can be. I saw how respectfully challenging what you think can make everyone better informed while letting everyone have fun.

But as my odd friends play Chinese checkers, I wonder what will happen when I introduce Tatsu to Dracon. Will someone end up breathing fire?

Google Search for Fun and Learning

Whether is just for fun like Google Doodles or for some serious research, Safe Search Kids is a custom search engine powered by Google to allow everyone to search the internet more safely. We use Google's SafeSearch features with additional filtering added to block potentially harmful material.

Our search filtering tools provide a way for parents at home and teachers in school to allow their kids to research the internet with safe boundaries. No matter what browser you use, strict filtered results are always on. For additional safety, read about Parental Control Software.
Safe Search Kids is not Google. We are not directly endorsed by them. Our affiliation with Google is strictly as a third party participating in their Custom Search Engine program.
That being said, the easy way to activate Google for kids with safe search is to bookmark this website for kids at home and in school.

Internet Safety to Help Protect Kids Online

Do not allow computers or laptops in the room of kids or teens. Computer should be in an open area of the home.

Do not allow computer use when supervising adults are not at home. Restrict the use of computers at night after supervising adults have gone to bed.

Restrict the use of smart phones and tablets to open areas of the home. If an agreement between the child and parent has been made about the use of these devices in their bedrooms, implement strict guidelines about keeping the door open and restrict use after parents have gone to bed.

Educate yourself on social media safety and the risks associated with it. Read our articles geared toward both parents and for teens.

Keep the lines of communication open at all times to discuss the various aspects of internet safety and the use of Google for kids. Be open to learn and work together on agreed upon guidelines.

This site is to be used in conjunction with common sense supervision of kids. The younger the child, the more safe guards you will want to put in place to protect them against harmful material online. The older they get, the more responsibility you will entrust to them within reason.

Regardless of the age, parents and educators providing resources for safe search in schools agree there should always be some form of strict safe guards in place. Internet safety is also about building values for healthy life long behavior online within a secure learning environment.

Together, we can work towards a more safe and secure online environment for our kids using Google safe resources and common sense.

I decided to bring this to my classroom and I had my students create their own avatars at the start of the school year and in one of our
I started exploring different avatar creators about a year ago after I realized that my twin boys were using and modifying images of me they found online as their Chromebook backgrounds. This led to a conversation with my own children about being aware of what they post on the internet. Once you share something online, it will most likely be there forever. We decided that using avatars on some sites could be a fun way to creatively share who we are with the world. (Bonus: I also hope it reduces the number of awkward photos of me on the web.)
Reboot the Noggin Activities to Start 2018.

Here are a few avatar creators we explored. Remember that a good avatar is connected to you and who you want to be. It can be an actual picture taken with your phone or webcam or it can be created using an online avatar maker.

Wonderous Portrait Creator - Create a Be Kind Avatar based on the Wonder author Raquel Jaramillo

Google Drawings - Turn a selfie into a Google Drawing. Jeffery Heil has a great tutorial here or you can click here to watch a video.

Scratch - Explore avatar projects on the Scratch coding site or code your own avatar creator.

Peanuts - Create a Peanuts Character Avatar. You can also become Snoopy!

Androidify - Creator your own Android avatar based on the famous green Android Mascot

BitMoji - Create an expressive cartoon avatar, choose from a growing library of moods and stickers.

South Park - Create your own South Park alter-ego or make one of your family and friends!

Avatar Maker - Create and customize a digital avatar.

picassohead - Create a Picasso work of art.

doppleme - Create your own mini-me.

is a nice tool for creating animated videos and images. To create a video on Animatron you start by dragging and dropping characters on a background scene and then choosing how long each character will be displayed in a scene. You can also set the length of time for each character in a scene to be in motion. By using Animatron's timeline editor you can make objects appear and disappear from a scene. The best feature of Animatron is that you can record audio directly over the animation. The built-in recording tools lets you see the scene while you're recording so that you can precisely synchronize each scene with its audio track.

On Google Jamboard you can create a set of sticky notes with words on them. You could color code the sticky notes to make verbs one color, adjectives another color, and nouns a third color. Once you've made your word bank you can then divide the Jamboard and add directions for writing a poem with the words in the word bank. Finally, share your Jamboard as an assignment in Google Classroom. When you share it in Google Classroom make sure that you choose the option of "make a copy for each student" so that students have their own copies to work on without having to manually make copies for themselves.

If you are looking for ideas to teach PARAGRAPH WRITING, you are in the right place! It is part of a STEP-BY-STEP WRITING® series of mini-lessons for writer's workshop designed to scaffold through the writing process. Paragraph writing will extend through three posts (lessons 5 topic sentences, 6 relevant details, and 7 closing sentences). Now that your students are WRITING COMPLETE SENTENCES using the previous mini-lessons, they are ready to learn how to write a paragraph!

PARAGRAPH GRAPHIC ORGANIZER

To begin, show students a hamburger or turkey or vegan burger 😋 anchor chart. Tell them that you will be using a burger to explain how to write a paragraph. This will introduce all three lessons on paragraph writing and give them a visual. Get ready to write juicy paragraphs by learning about:

The topic sentence is the top bun. It introduces the main idea of the paragraph. The relevant details talk about that main idea. It is the meat and veggies of the burger. The closing sentence is the bottom bun. It finishes the paragraph. Having this visual will help them "see" how to put a paragraph together!

MINI-LESSON #5 TOPIC SENTENCES is the first mini-lesson for paragraph writing.

Paragraphs need to have topic sentences. It is a way of organizing and expressing the main idea of the paragraph! (That is why I use MAIN STREET for the visual. Main Street-Main Idea. Get it?) This is the top bun of the burger!
A topic sentence:

Answers questions like why, how, or where.

Has supporting sentences or relevant details.

Can prove, explain, or describe something.

Prompt example: What is your favorite season?

Paragraph: Fall is my favorite season. The weather is perfect for outside activities. I like going on hikes with my brother and fishing with my dad. I look forward to the smell of a fire and the taste of burnt marshmallows. I love fall weather!

Notice the underlined sentence is the topic sentence. It is the main idea of the paragraph. Everything else in the paragraph refers to fall being the favorite season. There are details that follow to answer "why" it is the favorite season.

This is the perfect time to introduce INDENTS! Point out paragraph indentions in text books or stories to reinforce this lesson! Indents are when you move the first line of a paragraph to the right and create a space.

It is usually 5 letter spaces.

The first sentence of every paragraph should be indented to show where the paragraph begins.

The rest of the sentences should be lined up on the left. If using notebook paper, these sentences should line up on the pink or red line.

If using interactive notebooks, create something similar to the following. Students should take notes and give examples. This will provide them with an amazing reference to flip through when writing paragraphs in the future. When I walk around during a writing assignment and notice students who forgot to add a topic sentence, I remind them to use their notebooks. It works wonders! It is an effective tool to use in small groups and reteaching too.

If using a digital format, you can still have students write with interactive notes by having them move pieces and filling in text boxes!

Provide students with practice. Practice, Practice, Practice! I like to scaffold the practice. First, students should identify topic sentences in paragraphs. Then students can write their own topic sentences. This can be done by giving writing prompts and only writing the topic sentence for each prompt. It can also be saved for the following lessons, so students can build paragraphs from the prompts. When all three lessons are completed, they will have all the components of a paragraph for those specific prompts! Use graphic organizers to keep flow of the lessons.

Task cards and self-check slides are a great way to give students extra practice in centers or at home.

Do you want your students' topic sentences to have Rockin' Beginnings? This can be used to differentiate in your classroom as well. Use the following anchor chart to help students write better topic sentences. I usually wait to introduce this skill with essay writing, but sometimes there are students who are ready earlier!

Provide a prompt or have students brainstorm ideas for a paragraph. Then they can use these ideas to write a paragraph using a topic sentence. It is OK that you haven't covered the other paragraph writing skills yet. You are only looking at the topic sentence! OR give students a paragraph without the topic sentence and have them add the topic sentence.

After everyone is finished, students can present their paragraphs in groups or whole group and other students can point out the topic sentence. Discuss why it is a topic sentence. Is it the main idea of the paragraph?

Whole group idea: As students are reading their paragraphs, ask other students to hold a hand up to their ears when they hear the topic sentence. It may help keep their attention!

This will be used at the end of paragraph writing. Have students work independently on writing a paragraph. Use a rubric to assess their skills in paragraph writing. Then record their progress. Each time you grade paragraph writing, record it on the same form. This will be helpful when forming small instructional groups and review.

I hope this helps with your instruction! GET READY TO TURN YOUR RELUCTANT WRITERS INTO ROCKSTAR WRITERS®!
