This is a nice writing activity that explores creativity and fluency as well. It is appropriate for intermediate and advanced levels, but the teacher can adapt it to more basic levels.
Instructions:
In this activity students can work individually, in pairs, or in groups. Dictate the following words (ask them to write the words at the end of the lines).
a) ___________________________________________________________blood.
b) ___________________________________________________________police.
c) ___________________________________________________________angry.
d) _________________________________________________________finished.
e) ___________________________________________________________guilty.
f) __________________________________________________________suicide.
g) _________________________________________________happily ever after.
Tell them that they have to write a connecting set of sentences that end with the words dictated. The final word should not be modified and students can’t add more sentences. They must be connected to form a mini story.
*Adaptation/variation: Use random words taken from the coursebook. It`s a great way to review vocabulary and give students an opportunity to use learned vocabulary in a contextualized way.
