Story+Stuff

This is a prediction activity.

1. The teacher places objects in a bag that are symbols from the next story that the class will read. 2. Students volunteer to take one object out at a time, they describe it aloud in front of the class, and the teacher writes their description on the board. 3. The students use the list, to write a short story.

In the future: students could do this activity in groups and compare predictions with other groups. For the advanced level: students could create their own "Story Stuff" bags. The teacher could assign a story to each group.
