do you have a BORED LITTLE WRITTER, i did....




A lovely idea that ive seen around on other web sites and since, my son is having trouble thinking of things to write about, for his daily created writing lesson;  we thought we would try out this idea for ourselves...

We all sat around and used our imaginations and come up with different scenarios and story lines and i put them into short sentences LIKE THESE..
 ... the ship was under attack.....
........as we approached the top of the mountain...  
....the dog had jumped, at the sound coming from outside....
......the ape had escaped from the zoo.....
......the pizza man finally arrived but.....
......dad was upset when.....
.....my brother was playing with.....
....my sister had....
......the space ship was out of control, when.....
Once a upon a time, there was a......
 Write a funny story about a family member or friend. ?



When then Folded them all up and placed them all into a ice-cream container, put lid on and gave them a good jumble and wala your ready for some creative writing ideas: Each day, Joel will get to pick out 5 pieces of paper and has to come up with creative story, that contains at least 3 of the 5 that he has drawn from the box.


 PRETTY NEAT IDEA i reckon and as he gets through them all, we can always change them out for other sentence starters or just add more to the collection.
