Just use the simplest commands and structure: Go Card, Ask, Answer, Show, Hide, Play, Move, If then Else... Did I left anything out? I believe that these very few constructs allows your students to create an Interactive narration as elaborate as this: http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=9882 The advantage is that your students are polishing their language skills while, at the same time, are using many other skills (like logical and sequential thinking) to make this Interactive Narration. Logical thinking: http://www.audiblox2000.com/logical-thinking.htm Sequential Thinking: http://blog.brainpathways.net/2011/03/30/strengthen-your-sequential-thinking-skills-for-life-success/ Think about it as a "Portafolio Project" for your students, instead of a written assignment of 2 pages... Could you, at least, give it a try to this idea with your current English students??? :-) Al -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/English-language-learners-and-LiveCode-tp4650501p4650569.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
