Incorporate technology into a literature activity with an innovative language arts activity. Middle schoolers read an electronic version of original stories or fairy tales, and after determining the point of view, rewrite the tale from a different point of view. Using a program like Talking Word Processor, writers save their documents, and submit their efforts by e-mail or post them on the class web page.
