Let's write!
We will now use a great and often used writing strategy.
You are going to write a story for ten minutes straight.
Your pen will not leave the paper.
You just keep on writing about whatever.
We all start with the same sentence.
Slide 4 - Diapositive
There's a catch...
I will say a word every now and then that you HAVE TO use in your stories.
Some of you might recognise the words I use...
You can adapt the word if necessary, but you have to use the word.
This will stretch your creativity and flexibility

Share your 'gem' with a neighbour.
Tell the other the general idea of your story and read out your great/good/OK part.
