7 Ideas For Story-Writing
In Computing
There's no doubt that some topics in the Computing
curriculum can be as dry as dust. But one way to
engage pupils might be to have them write a short
story. This could be a good way of telling whether a
pupil understood a particular concept, of generating
some interesting reads for the school website or
magazine, and even for collaboration with
colleagues.
You could also use this idea to generate some blog
content -- either your own blog or your school's.
Just off the top of my head, here are a few
suggestions. They all begin with the question, "What
if...?"
What if...
1. A self-drive car could take wider decisions -- like
not allowing you to go to a drive-in fast food outlet?
2. A connected home hadn't been programmed
correctly, so that there was an infinite loop: every
time you entered it set the alarm for going out, but
every time you went out it thought you were in and
so set no alarm at all?
3. All job placements were decided by artificial
intelligence, with no human being involved in any
part of the process -- except for the applicant.
4. There was no way of telling whether your
colleagues were human or robots? Would that
actually matter, and if so, how and why?
5. Robots started to demand human rights?
6. Most people preferred "living" in a virtual world
rather than the real one?
7. Someone who had lost their voice because of a
cold was unable to log in to their voice-activated
bank account to pay a ransom demand?
Some of these ideas for short-story writing as a way
of helping pupils engage with some aspects of the
curriculum.
