Description:
4 players stand in a shoulder to shoulder line. The teacher acts as the “conductor”. The objective is to tell a complete story from beginning to end using logical sequencing. Whenever the conductor points to one of the four students, they will begin speaking.
Then, the “conductor” will point to another student, and they will have to pick up where the previous student left off, even if it was in the middle of a sentence. This continues until the story has reached a resolution.
To integrate our review of proper nouns, each student was tasked with including at least one proper noun in their part of the story. The teacher prompted, “Who did you see? Where did you go? What day was it?” ect to encourage proper nouns.
