This activity involves collaboration in groups
to write a story that uses the target language.
The task for my class is that they’re
going to write a fairy tale and I ask them how the story should start. This is
to elicit ‘Once upon a time…’.
To generate a simple, short story I ask
questions like :
Who is your hero?
Where did the story take place/happen?
When did it happen?
What did he/she do?
What
happened next?
How does the story end?
To help them choose their heroes , we
play the following board game.
In this way each group has at least 3 heroes to work with, in their story.
Students plan their writing the way they like and at the same time they use the target language structures.
