The Banana

Now without any preparation let's create a story together in a chain. Don't forget about the main parts, which we have just refreshed in our memory. Choose one of the story-starters.

 

The huge crocodile opened its

jaws wide . . .

 

The young musician walked

nervously on stage . . .

 

A piercing scream rang out in

the night . . .

 

A huge black bear lumbered

toward the motorway . . .

 

I didn't believe in magic

spells, but . . .

 

Out of the darkness and into the

light of the campfire came . . .

 

2. Make 2 groups. Continue these stories, giving them happy endings.

I'm a banana. I don't mind being peeled and then eaten in the usual way. It's just the thought of being cut up into little pieces. I'm lying helplessly in a glass bowl on a kitchen counter top. Oh, no, here she comes . . . with a sharp knife. She picks me up in her left hand and begins to peel me. What can I do?

 

I just went outside to check on Fido the dog, who was howling. But the door slammed shut on me. Now I can't get back inside, and no one's at home. Here I am, in the back garden, wearing nothing but my nightie!

 

3.Choose one of the pictures and create a story of not more than 6 sentences

 

 

 

4. A story treasure hunt. The cards with the events of one well-known tale are hidden in the classroom. I'll give you a treasure map and you are to find the cards, place them in correct order and act out the story.

Thank you for the lesson! You've learnt what a short story is from the point of view of its structure and you`ve learnt to create your own stories. Those who have the greatest number of bonuses get the excellent mark!
