ACTIVITY 5: LET´S CREATE A STORY

This is the construction of a micro story through a series of questions. In this one, for example, the student will be told that the main theme is shyness. The questions proposed are the following:

1. What or who was?

2. Where was he or she?

3. What did she/he say or think?

4. What was he/she doing?

5. Who was he/she with?

6. What happened then?

7. How did it all end?

Writing a story by answering a series of simple and direct questions makes the writing process more easy. It may seem to block creativity, but in fact it is simply a way of structuring ideas. It's very relevant, in my opinion, to work on the cohesion of the ideas in a text, since by following the questions in the established order you can make sure that the narrative makes sense. Moreover, it is very interesting that the main theme is a feeling, since in this way, we are working simultaneously on emotional education.

Students can also do this activity at home. For the explanation click on this link: https://youtu.be/uu6B7ZXCQlk
