                    | 
                  The 
                    beginnings of two sporting stories with a Commonwealth Games 
                    theme. Story one has drop down menus for certain words, so 
                    the children can choose from the various options, to create 
                    a 'customised' beginning. Story two displays the first chapter, 
                    and invites the children to submit the next two or three chapters. 
                    The model of the baton in a relay race is used, with the story 
                    changing hands from writer to writer, as more chapters are 
                    added |
