Crazy Story
In groups of three, you will create a crazy version of the story we just read. You need 3 characters and 3 places.
Write 3 sentences for each section. Underline target vocabulary word from the reading. You need to use target
vocabulary at least once. Be sure to use transition words like “then” and “afterwards” and “later.” Do not use words
you don’t already know. One person in your group will write while the other two create your crazy story. All three of
you will edit the story for language corrections. You will give your story to Teacher for a group grade.
