  Read Write Think is a great place to find story starters and interactive writing templates. A good example of that is found on Read Write Think's Compare & Contrast Map. The Compare & Contrast Map is a template for creating a comparative essay. Using the template YOU are guided through writing three styles of comparison essays. To get started YOU identify two things that YOU wish to compare and or contrast. Then YOU choose if YOU want to write a "whole to whole" essay, a "similarities to differences" essay, or a "point to point" essay. Whichever essay type YOU choose, YOU are guided through the types of information YOU should put in each part of YOUR essays. WhenYOUR essays are complete YOU can share them via email or print them. 

 Adobe Spark is a new suite of free tools for creating images, videos, and simple web pages. The blog-o-sphere was all abuzz about Adobe Spark late last week so I gave it a try too. Adobe Spark can be used in your web browser or you can download the Adobe Spark video, image, and web page iPad apps. You could use Adobe Spark to create short informational videos. The recording feature in Adobe Spark's video editor makes it very easy to precisely control the audio on each part of your videos. The Adobe Spark web page tool provides you with a great way to tell stories through pictures. And the image tool provides you with a good way to create a graphic that can grab anyone's attention in a social media posting from you .
