outline is supposed to look
like, now you try.”
EXPLORATION
What the Teacher Will Do
Say, “You are allowed to be
in groups of at most four, to
help each other come up
with ideas.”
Have a student from each
group lead the
conversation, so chatter
doesn’t go off topic.
Monitor the groups. Allow
the students to discuss
ideas and use their friend’s
ideas to create the makings
of a great story.
When class is almost done
ask them to pack up their
things and ask questions.

Student Responses and
Misconceptions

“Add some filler words to
make a complete story.”

Students will find their
groups and have a
discussion on what to write.
Students will assign roles in
the group.
“An innocent accused of
murder.”
[Answers are unlimited as
long as they are
appropriate]
Students will comply.
At the end of class students are expected to have completed an outline with a minimum
of 250 words, this is B work if the student shows detail and thought into their outline 250
words can become an A.

Teacher Reflections:

Students were able to come up with well thought out ideas with the help of those around
them, I did find students didn’t stay on topic a lot due to the size of the groups, I will be
making smaller groups in the future.
