Activity 93- Writing a (Fun) Story

This idea is a classic, but great if you want your students to develop a taste for writing. Informal, but fun and effective!

Level: Intermediate/ Advanced

Skill: Writing

Material Needed: sheets of paper with different stories

Instructions:

The teacher should prepare papers with different beginnings of different stories. Separate students into groups of 5 or 6 students. Use the pieces of paper to rotate among the groups. After all the groups have had a chance to add something to each story, ask different students to read them. Students vote for the best story in the class.
