Yes, the five-paragraph essay had its merits in teaching organization, but it lacked real-world relevance. Writing needed to evolve, and I was ready to champion this cause, even if it meant taking risks.

Writing standards are challenging for students of any age. With Story Coins, you can teach writing, language, speaking, and more using a fun game.
