Описание

Students create an original story by adding to the story with each turn they take in the circle.

Направления

• 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.
