Instructional Ideas
- Laminate the cards, sort them into setting, plot, and character piles and ask writers to choose several characters, one setting, and one plot for their story
Classroom Considerations
- Because the packet includes 16 character cards, 12 setting cards, and 12 plot cards create multiple copies of the templates
- Recruit classroom aides to record stories dictated by little ones
Pros
- The activity focuses writer's attention on what happens when these elements are combined
Cons
- Reluctant writers will need additional support and encouragement
