Story Helpers.
“My story matters.”
A simpler, child-friendly recording and writing space. Children can tell a story about something they saw, did, made, or remember, then review it with a teacher or helper.
I am a Story Helper.
What is my story today?
I can tell a story about myself, or listen to a story from someone I care about.
Your teacher or an Elder might have given you ideas for a story. Or pick something you saw, did, made, or remember. Then say it out loud like you are telling a friend.
There is no wrong way to tell your story. Start with one thing you remember, saw, felt, or made.
The Stories Inside Me.
“The stories inside me are worth sharing.”
- Take a snapshot.
- Start the motion.
- Tell what happened next.
- Review and share.
A place for students to record or write a memory, a response to a question, or a story that matters to them. It is designed for personal stories shared in the student’s own voice.
Story pathway
- Take a snapshot.Show who, what, where, and when.
- Start the motion.Introduce a problem, surprise, or question.
- Tell what happened next.Use details, actions, and feelings.
- Review and share.Save your draft, then choose when to send it.
Your voice matters
There is no one right way to tell a story. Begin with something you know, imagine, remember, or want to explore.
Keep it yours
Share only what feels right. Read your words, make corrections, and decide when your story is ready to share.
Tell Me Your Story.
“Every life holds a story worth keeping.”
A guided space for youth who are listening to an Elder, family member, mentor, or community member, with clear consent and review steps before anything is sent.
How it works
- Ask.Open the Tell Me Your Story Journal and read one question aloud to your grandparent or elder.
- Listen.Press record, then let your grandparent or elder speak into the recording. Do not rush them.
- Keep the story.Listen back, then copy the story into your journal later.
Listen with care
Your grandparent or elder is the storyteller. Give them time to remember, speak, pause, and share in their own way.
For students: Ask permission before recording. Only record and share stories your grandparent or elder is comfortable sharing.
Essays & personal narrative.
“Build your ideas before you write.”
- Plan your outline.
- Find your sources.
- Tell the report out loud.
- Draft, revise and share.
A guided writing workflow for planning, drafting, revising, and reflecting on AI use. It helps students create work in their own voice rather than relying on AI-generated writing.
Writing pathway
- Understand.Write the assignment question and your first answer.
- Think aloud or write.Explain your idea in your own words.
- Gather evidence.Record the sources and notes you will use.
- Review and send.Check your work, then choose when to share it.
About AI: Use only the help your teacher allows. Explain any AI or writing tool you used. Do not use AI to replace your own writing.
Story Warriors know that adding true stories can make essays and reports more powerful.
Why True Stories Make Writing StrongerPDF, 2 pagesMy story, my way
A personal narrative begins with something you have lived. You know your own story best.
A story about something you experienced. You tell it from your point of view, often using “I” and “we.” It can be one small moment: a meal, a visit, a mistake, a discovery, or an ordinary day.
There is no wrong way to tell your own story.
Every story starts with your voice.
