Writing Roulette

How it works...
  • Groups of 3 students
  • Choose 6 related words 
    • Can be content related
    • Have students help you think of these words
  • Each student chooses two words that they are in charge of using during the activity
  • Have them each get out a sheet of paper and begin a story that incorporates their two words
  • Pass the paper so that each student writes one of the parts of the story for each story
    • Three parts to the story
      • Setting and characters
      • Problem or goal for the main character
      • A resolution
