The Science Fiction Story Machine for iOS

The Science Fiction Story Machine (by Alan Peat Ltd) The Science Fiction Story Machine helps both pupils and busy classroom teachers to plan Science Fiction stories (over a million combinations are possible...and that's no exaggeration!). The machine has eight parts:1 Opening2 Main character/s3 Other character/s4 Setting5 Dilemma6 Random Language Feature7 Objects8 Ending Pupils 'spin' each of the eight parts of the machine (up to three times) to reveal a HUGE range of genre-appropriate ideas.When ALL eight parts have been 'spun' the story machine collates all of the ideas into one printable sheet which can be used as a stimulus for a science fiction story.It's NOT prescriptive - pupils can include as many of the ideas as they wish but they don't have to include all of them. Whether they include a few or every one they certainly will be learning a great deal about the genre.This is the first in a series of Story machines which will cover all narrative genres.
