1. Seven-sentence story structure
Most stories can be boiled down to seven basic sentences. These sentences begin like this:
Once upon a time....
And every day...
Until one day...
And because of that...
And because of that...
Until finally...
And from that day...
It's good to use examples when explaining this, I will use 'Hannah Montana: The Movie' here:
Once upon a time there was a girl who was secretly a pop-star. And every
day she was careful not to let anyone know her secret. Until one day
she met a boy, and he discovered her double life. And because of that he
was angry and felt betrayed. And because of that Hannah felt awful.
Until finally she owned up to her double life. And from that day the
people from her home have known and accepted her secret, and she and the
boy are very happy.
1. Have the students sit in a circle and ask them to come up with one
sentence from the story structure each. If you have more than 7 students
you can just begin from the first sentence again once you reach the
eight student.
2. Once you've done this you can broaden the exercise and take away the
7-sentence restriction, allowing students to tell the story in as many
sentences as they like.
