First, students have to tell the story of the little guy using all the words on the right side of the worksheet. Next, they have to add some more details to the story based on the 10 questions provided. Finally, students add to the story some of the “story phrases” at the bottom. Page 2 suggests follow-up tasks. Page 3 features my sample stories (1 short+1 long version). This story telling task could be used for almost all levels. Students on more advanced levels simply add more elaboration and a broader range of vocabulary to the story. Bless up, Kisdobos

WRITING FABLES. I was browsing cliparts for half a day and I got a lot of inspiration from them. I hope you´ll like the story prompts I invented for writing fables. They could also be used for acting out scenes in class, after groups have rehearsed their dialogs.

This is a game for ADVANCED students - PART 1. It comes from an idea I took from a birthday party. DARK STORIES about mysterious happenings. HOW TO PLAY: Student A picks up a card and reads the clue to the rest of the class. He then reads the story for himself but doesn’t tell it to the class. The others try to find out what happened by asking “YES/NO” questions. Student A may only answer YES or NO! If the others ask about information like “Is the man old or young?” student A must insist on another question. Sometimes a question will be unnecessary e.g. “Was the man in church the day before?” in this case student A may answer “this information isn’t essential to solve the story”. The students keep going until they know the story. You may give points for good questions or for getting the story right. Then student B picks up the next card and everybody starts over. ==> Use page 3 to print on the back of the cards ******* My students liked it so much, that I will make more cards next week.

Students have to tell the story (several times) using the story cues provided in the worksheet. This is a "Grammar up!" task where students add the past tense, articles, plurals, conjuntions, etc. to the story. The repetition helps students slowly start to focus on the grammar besides the content of the story. It worked for me across various levels up to intermediate. When I want to impress a prospective new client, I often do this task because it results in a strong sense of learning by virtue of students' speaking production improving upon each repetition.

It's a gap-filling exercise consolidating the use of "so, because and although". It's based on three funny stories that I've found here: http://www.guy-sports.com/.
(I've adapted them a little bit to suit them for pre-intermediate level students).
Enjoy!
