I think Bryce had been waiting his whole life to tell this story. According to talks with his teacher, he is a very quiet boy that hardly says anything in class either prompted or otherwise. So you can just imagine that the reason he is so quiet is that all these sci fi stories are floating around in his head.
I consider this a traditional story character, plot movement, appropriate ending. This one is different from the others because it is easily fit into a genre of writing.
An interesting thing about Bryce's work here is that .. .well one thing is that he does have an anchor... like Trace it is the "background." But this story was born and floated in his mind well before he got to the technology. Instead of drawing (and this is something he did through out his work) he manipulated the different shapes he could make with the software (and also the pattern fill on the paint can for the backgrounds.
But he definitely... in this story shaped the digital world on his screen to fit what he wanted the story to be. He made a rhombus looking shape to be the thunder horn or sword or whatever it is.
My role? I helped him record and i saved and placed the pictures he drew in photostory.
Visually this story was not interesting because he talked for so long the story didn't "move."
Would this story have come out of his mind if not for this opportunity? I don't think so. His teacher didn't necessarily have him writing a whole lot of choice writing. She did come to me after the project started with a paper he'd written about an alien that was quite clever and she was amazed at the peek she got into the mind of this quiet boy. Heh.
