Recently our P5 students have been working on Story Endings. We used a "choose your adventure" approach. First we read a simple story setting. Then we thought of 2 possible good encounters for the main character. From each possible story path, we constructed the respective ending.

Next we shifted our perspectives by thinking of 2 possible bad encounters, followed by the respective endings.

This writing exercise allowed the students and teacher to create 4 different story plots. The students do not end up with the same model composition memorised. Instead they learn how to stimulate their thinking cells to diversify the story flow.

For a longer writing practice, we read a story together and constructed the rest of it. The student wrote in prose and utilised one of four endings - happy, sad, unexpected, reflection.
