Stig of the Dump
by Topologika Software Ltd
A text adventure that captures the imagination and gets students reading for meaning
Stig of the Dump brings Clive King’s story (of the same name) to life, putting the learner in Barney’s shoes in a virtual environment that contains people, objects and locations from Barney’s house, Stig’s cave and The Dump itself.
Using their knowledge of the first three chapters of the book, students must enter instructions or click on command words in pop-up menus, such as GO NORTH, IN and LIGHT FIRE.
Included in the pack is a cross-curricular topic web for discussion, plus a map which students can be given if they cannot create their own.
“Whether you use Stig of the Dump as a huge comprehension exercise, a tool to encourage reading for meaning, the focus for integrated project work – or all three, this is one program which will encourage children to use skills the Curriculum doesn’t encourage enough of: creative, lateral thinking.” – EC&T (Educational Computing & Technology)
“The title is ideal for Key Stage 2 pupils and supports the Literacy Curriculum. It is an excellent resource for classes using Stig of the Dump as a class reader. It also encourages reluctant readers to attempt the reading of the book.” – TEEM
