Brainstorm Stories
15 minutes
- Today students will be brainstorming and experiencing what it feels like to share their story with someone else. To start, each student should have a blank piece of paper folded into 4 equal parts. Have students label each box on their paper as box 1, 2, 3, or 4. *Note: it is helpful to have a 4 square box drawn on the white board or on a large piece of paper to model this brainstorming process.
