A list of resources about writing and related topics. Students modify and add to these documents. However, unlike the tutorials, these activities give students more flexibility to experiment with their own ideas and with the program itself. Students bring an event or experience to life by creating a sensory description. In this software students will always have someone to count on.
Students can turn to Penny for help to keep going, or to get fresh ideas.
As the program begins, Penny invites students to learn more about the writing process. Students can choose to learn from Penny about what the writing process is and what goes on in each of its five stages. She also explains the special tools offered by the program to support each stage. As students move through the program, they will see Penny in the Main Menu, in the Word Processor, and in the Writing Idea Lands. Whenever they see her, they can click on her to see the choice screen.
