Making groups

You have 2 minutes to make a group of 4. 

Let's think of...

- a setting for our stories

- a point of view

- the ''problem in our stories''

5 minutes

Groupwork

In your groups, create a story using your imagination. 

Follow up on the last sentence. You have 2 minutes to come up with a sentence

Fold the paper, so that only your writing is visible for the next person. 

Give the paper to your neighbour, they write the next sentence

Go around twice, so that everyone has two chances on every story. 

20 minutes

Uitleg: nummer 1 schrijft een problem,  geeft door; nummer 2 leest probleem, schrijft action, vouwt nummer 1 weg, geeft door; nummer 3 leest 3, schrijft climax, vouwt 2 weg … enz. bit of fun die schrijfdurf / nadenken over ieder aspect stimuleert.. Ieder schrijft maximaal 10 regels.

Je kunt dit ook als soort ‘Chinese whispers doen – doorborduren, en dan gaat het zeker ook leuk ‘fout’.

Well done!!

Read your stories out loud!
