Story Maker 2.1      
with French voices

German or Spanish as optional extra add-ons

With Story Maker 2, children can make animated stories where figures move across the screen, make noises, speak to each other in a foreign language - even explode or disappear!

Writing in a foreign language can be fun
Children can hear StoryMaker's voice-synthesizer speak the words they write, preserving the vital link between writing and sound.

The artificial accent and intonation is very good - and there is a choice of male and female voices to add realism. They can also add their own sound recordings.

Give children a "Starter Story"

A really great idea! - Give the Starter to children in small groups, like le Château Hanté story [left].

They can play the opening screen or two that set sthe scene - and also see and hear examples of the language structures they might use.

Children then develop the story as they wish - adding animations, sound effects, dialogue...

Groups can share their efforts with the class for an enjoyable plenary.

A good selection of Starters come with Story Maker 2.1, with more suggestions in the Early Start Teacher's Manual and on-line Guide. It's easy to make your own to suit a particular topic you are teaching.

Make talking animated stories with Story Maker2

You hear the speech bubbles as they appear - and the French pronunciation is very good!

StoryMaker2 - Starter Story: "the Haunted Castle"

A French Starter Story - what happens when the door creaks open in the haunted castle? Children listen to Story Maker 2 set the scene - then they finish the story.....
