A Day In the Life Of-Lesson Plan

○ Teach them about stories different parts, and what makes a
good story.
○ Have students choose a mundane object (pen, book), and then
write an adventure story from the perspective of their objective,
30-45 minutes.
○ Read a few out loud and allow students to ask questions.
Discuss what worked well and what could have been improved.
2. Collaborative Story-Lesson Plan
○ Tell students they are going to create a 2-3 paragraph story.
○ Give each student 5 minutes to think of a story starter, then
write 1 or 2 sentences. Each student trades their paper, reads
their new one, then adds 1 or 2 sentences. Swap papers for 3
more rotations, then return them.
○ Have students discuss how their story changed based on the
additions. Was the story different or the same as they’d
imagined?
3. Fractured/Mixed Up Fairy Tales
○ Discuss setting and plot, show some short fractured/mixed fairy tales
■ Ex. Rocky and Bullwinkle
○ Explain what fairy tales are, and give examples
○ Put them into groups (or don’t), and give them random (fairy tales or prompts)
