1. What is your favorite story?  What was interesting about it?  What made it memorable?

2.  Let's look at the Elements of a Story page on this blog and discuss each item.

2.  Now it's your turn.
     A String of Pearls -  This is a group activity. In your group you will write a story using the topic,
     "If only I would have listened! "
       
Write a story that fits the topic, with each group member delivering no more than 4 sentences at a time, and stringing the story together using the contributions from each individual like a string of pearls.

3. Work in your group and write a story 1 line at a time. Each group member will contribute 1 sentence. Remember that a story has a beginning, a middle and an end.

 Write the final story on the big paper and share with the class.
