Facilitating Story Revision Through Peer Questioning on a Scribble Environment

Abstract

For the past 1 1/2 years, eight second-grade Taiwanese classrooms (n = 207) have used BookTalker to draw pictures and write stories. Although, this allows for easy sharing of one’s story, students still seem to lack an understanding of what constitutes a “quality” story or how to self-improve. The study proposed in this paper aims to extend the use of BookTalker to enhance the quality of students’ stories by incorporating scaffolding through the process of asking questions regarding the content of peers’ stories, critical analysis of asked questions, and story revision.
