Write+Around+Story

Students will be assigned one of the story starters below. They will use their assigned story start to start (but not finish) an original story. After several minutes of writing, students will be instructed to STOP, regardless of where they are in the story. They will then save what they have written, then move on to the next story on the list where they will continue the story already in progress. After several "rounds" of writing, they will be told to end the story they are currently working on. The fun is seeing how each story changes when the author changes.

Students, to begin this activity click on the word "edit" to the right of the story you are going to work on. Start typing your version of the story BENEATH the gray line. DO NOT TYPE OR CHANGE ANYTHING ABOVE THE LINE!!!!!!! Let your imagination go as you write a continuation of the story. You will continue writing your story until the teacher gives the instruction to stop and save. Let's see how creative our stories can be!

Have fun with this!
