Storytelling takes many forms - and in this episode, the supremely talented Rhianna Pratchett explains to Helen why writing for video games is such a uniquely challenging, enjoyable and satisfying way to do exactly that; and how she has now used that experience to create a ‘choose your own adventure’ book where, as in a game, the reader’s choices can genuinely change the direction of the narrative.

This resources pack takes children step by step through the process of writing their very own ‘choose the ending’ story, and includes teacher notes, a PowerPoint, planning sheets and beautifully designed elements for a working wall. It has been exclusively created to be used with episode 18 of the Author In Your Classroom podcast – a virtual ‘author visit’ you can share with children whenever you like, absolutely free!

The resource pack includes:

  • PowerPoint
  • Extract from Crystal of Storms
  • Images and author quotes for a working wall display
  • Planning sheets 1, 2 and 3
  • Teacher notes
