Unit 4 “Amazing Stories “

Activity description. For children of all ages (and some would argue adults too), writing is a form of imaginative play. It
gives them the opportunity to create their own world in which they can be and do whatever they like, wherever they like.
Each and every time they set out to write, any person who writes embarks on a new adventure. Students can see writing
as an experience, as something exciting that transports them out of everyday reality. When their imagination takes flight,
limitless possibilities open up. For this reason, they can get totally lost in their stories, and in the scenarios and characters
they create. Of course, writing can also be a powerful way for people to examine real-life experiences in their own way and
at their own pace. Writing about ‘real stuff,’ whether good or bad, can help them gain a better understanding of it, and of
the emotions involved. Simply put, writing gives people the freedom to explore who they are, in a space that they can
control and feel comfortable in. It can lead to self-discovery and to them finding their ‘voice.’

Your opportunity has come, and your imagination will take flight since you will be working on your own story, get together
with some of your classmates and start creating your short story, and take pleasure in making it by placing it in strange
scenarios, fiction, or a real one, the point is you will be so engaged in your stories and feel such a sense of ownership about
them and the characters you create. Get ready to record it and play your own film!

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Make groups of 5 people.
2. Choose the name of the story and also the genre, plot, characters, setting, and message you want to
leave through your story.
3. Write the story, ( More dialogues than narration style )
4. Practice and learn your gialogues.
5. Choose the appropriate clothes for your play in the story.
6. Redcord and roleplay your story.
7. Save it on a USB and give it to your teacher.
8. Give your teacher the written story in a folder including the front page and rubric page.
