Wonderful Websites #1

Hi, and welcome to the Check This Out blog. Every week, we'll be showing you "wonderful websites" or "Cool Classes" to show you what's going on around the world wide web, or right here at GHS!

You know, sometimes I get the writing bug - it’s itchy and scratchy, and wont leave me alone until I’ve filled pages with ideas.

But what happens when you know you want to write, but don’t know what to write about, or need a new, creative way to display your writing? It’s called “Writer’s Block” and it’s like banging your head into a brick wall!

I’ve been searching the web for some really neat websites that can help you out! Here’s what I’ve found...




http://www.pimpampum.net/bookr is a really neat tool. It uses pictures from Flickr that you choose, and text that you write. When you are finished creating, press publish, and you can email it to your friends, parents and even your teacher!

Suitable for Junior, Middle and Senior


http://www.tikatok.com/ is fabulous! It has a range of story prompts to help you when you get stuck.
(Parents, registration is free, and there is the option to purchase a finished masterpiece!)
Suitable for Middle and Senior





www.wordle.net is lots of fun to see what words you use in a piece of writing.
Suitable for Middle and Senior





Enjoy, and happy writing!
Love From,
