simple ideas
This is an old favourite. Give each student a sheet of

WHAT, HOW, WHERE, WHEN, WHY.
Explain that everyone will be writing a sentence story. Write an example on the board, explain, asking for suggestions.

1.
Tell them to write someone’s name at
the top of their paper, i.e., their own, a classmate’s, the teacher’s, a famous
person that everyone knows; fold the paper over once so no one can see it, then
pass the paper to the person on their right.
2.
Write on the received paper what the
subject did (suggest funny or outrageous actions), fold it over and pass it on
to the right.
3.
Continue to write one line, how they
did it (adverbs), fold and pass; where-pass; when-pass; and last of all, why
(because…) and pass it one more time.
4.
Have the students unfold their
stories, and them silently. Help anyone who cannot read what the others wrote,
or doesn’t understand.
5.
Ask one student at a time to read
“their” story aloud, or turn the stories in for the teacher to read. Funny!
