Write your educational children's story in a Microsoft® Word document.
As you are writing the story, make sure you pitch your story to the younger audience by considering the following things:
Know your audience. Keep in mind what grade level you are writing for. Don't use words they won't understand. Keep sentences short and simple.
Explain things. Don't expect everyone at younger grade levels to understand the cyber community. Some may have never even been on the Internet before. Break things down so anyone could understand.
Make it interesting. Write a good story. Have a plot. Use different characters. What do you think would appeal to your audience?
Plan what you will say. Before you write, have an idea of where the story is going, who the characters are, and what you want to teach. That way you have a road map for writing the story.
Write a simple rough draft. Use this to make sure you include everything you want. That way you haven't wasted time illustrating a story only to find out you forgot to mention viruses. Also, this way you can proofread and perfect your story.
Have fun with it! If you are having fun writing it, then chances are the students will have fun hearing the story.
The Adventures of Timmy the Turtle on the Internet
Timmy the Turtle was a curious little creature who lived in a pond with his family and friends. One day, while out on a stroll, he stumbled upon a magical device called a computer. Timmy had heard about these before, but had never seen one in person. He decided to give it a try and took a closer look.
As he approached the computer, a kind young boy came out and said hello. The boy's name was Tom, and he was very friendly. Timmy was hesitant at first, but Tom explained that he could use the computer to learn and have fun. After some reassurance, Timmy agreed to explore the digital world.
Tom showed Timmy several websites where he could learn math, science, and language. Timmy was amazed at how much he could learn in such a short amount of time. He also discovered that there were games he could play with his friends online.
One day, Timmy received an email from someone he didn't know. The email had a catchy subject line that said, "You Won!". Without thinking, Timmy clicked on the email, and soon enough, his computer had a virus. Timmy didn't know what to do, and his computer was now running slow.
Tom noticed that something was wrong and offered to help. He explained that sometimes people will send emails with viruses and that it is essential to be careful on the internet. He showed Timmy how to avoid scams and viruses by only clicking on links from people he knows.
Timmy learned that the internet is a vast and magical place, but also that it requires safety precautions. With Tom's help, he fixed his computer and continued using it to learn and play games online.
From then on, Timmy made sure to be safe while on the internet and to only click on links from people he knows. He enjoyed the many possibilities of online learning and friendship while staying safe.

Sammy the Shark's Internet Adventure
Sammy the Shark was always fascinated by the world beyond the ocean's surface. He had heard stories from other sea creatures about the internet, a vast world filled with new information and exciting things to explore. Sammy was determined to see it for himself.
One day, while swimming along the ocean floor, Sammy saw a strange device floating above him. It was a computer! He swam up to it and was amazed at all the colors and sounds he saw and heard. He wanted to explore everything the computer could do.
As Sammy started clicking on things to see what they did, he stumbled upon an email saying he had won a prize. The email looked official, and Sammy was very excited. Without thinking, he clicked on the link, and it took him to a webpage that asked for his personal information.
Sammy thought it was strange and went to ask his friend, Mr. Crab, for advice. Mr. Crab explained that the email Sammy received was probably a phishing email, and that it may be a scam. Phishing is when someone sends fake emails or websites that trick people into giving away their personal information.
Sammy was relieved that he talked to Mr. Crab and grateful for his advice to never give out personal information to websites he doesn't know. He realized how important it was to be safe while exploring the internet.
Sammy continued exploring the internet, finding new websites to learn and play games on. He always made sure to be safe and ask Mr. Crab for help when he was unsure.
From that day forward, Sammy learned that the internet was not only a place of wonder, but it also had some dangers. He was grateful for having a friend like Mr. Crab to always be there for him and guide him through the internet's vast world.
