Narration mode
In Narration Mode, students must place their text only at the entrance of each island.
This usually leads to a better structured redaction, as the students' texts are written, and automatically placed, in the intended sequence. This is very useful to work on the narrative structure!
In this Mode, it will be impossible for students to add text to objects and characters.
