· Students take turns composing sentences for a class story. The teacher and the class ensure that the story line is maintained.
· After reading a novel, students working in cooperative groups discuss ways to change the ending of a story. Once each group agrees to an ending, the students work together to write the new ending.
· Students create a timeline or life map to trace a fictional character’s life. They then discuss how the character changed over time and what experiences contributed to those changes.
