Story Circle
কর্তৃক অবদান Claudia Acosta
Description
Students create an original story by adding to the story with each turn they take in the circle.
দিকনির্দেশ
- Students sit in a circle. Then work together to improvise to create an original story based on a character and a setting chosen by students.
- One at a time each student offers a sentence to move the story forward. When they are done with their part of the story, the group does one clap together for the next turn.
- After the first sentence, students can choose to represent a character with a pose, gesture or sound to move the story forward for the next storyteller.
- A teacher can illustrate a few images from parts of the story on chart paper when students need time to imagine the next part.

Adjustments for Remote Application
You can write the initial character and setting chosen by the students in the chat. You can also call on students so each of them gets to tell or act out their part of the story.
