a) Students work together in pairs (they can also be from different age groups). Student 1 thinks about the beginning of a story (one sentence) and dictates this sentence to his/her partner (student 2).
b) Student 2 writes down the sentence and imagines how the story could continue, then dictates the next sentence to his/her partner (student 1).
c) In the end, the different pairs read their stories to the other teams.
Variation (students of similar abilities paired): this exercise is carried out in silence. Student 1 writes down one or two sentences (the beginning of the story). Student 2 continues with one or two sentences, etc.
