Kar2ouche
Not evaluated
for Primary writing
Intervention description
Kar2ouche is an educational software intervention which can be used across many curriculum areas at KS2 and above. The software enables pupils to create multi-media role-plays, storyboards, movies and animations using a simple drag-and-drop interface. They can select their own backgrounds, characters and props (which vary depending on the subject pack being used), add sound effects and recordings, create and import images, and share their work as a video file. The intervention is intended to encourage self-expression and creativity, and can be used to develop pupils' narrative and storytelling abilities as a preliminary to writing activities.
