Overview:
- The teacher will introduce a set of 100 flashcards with ideas like "dragon," "wizard," "alien spaceship," "invisibility cloak," etc.
- Students will work in small groups of 3-4. Each group will receive the full set of 100 flashcards.
- Groups will shuffle their cards and select 10 random cards. These 10 cards will serve as the basis for their story.
- Groups will use their 10 selected cards to outline a short story with a beginning, middle and end. They should aim to incorporate and connect all the random elements.
- Groups will write out their full story and present it to the class.
- The teacher will encourage creative thinking throughout the outlining and writing process. Strange combinations and plot twists are welcome!
Example: A group's flashcards might include: mermaid, buried treasure, pirate ship, wizard, unicorn, castle, robot dog, force field, and shrinking potion. Their story could involve a mermaid and wizard teaming up to find buried treasure guarded by pirates. With help from a robot dog and using a shrinking potion and force field, they could sneak into the pirate castle unseen. The unicorn could act as transportation.
With the mix-and-match flashcard prompts, each group will create a totally unique story! The lesson builds imagination, cooperation, writing skills and presentation ability.
