When your class have finished their stories, have them recite their silly story to the class!

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding  

Included in this download are two slightly different worksheets – the first one provides students with possible words to put in the gaps, while the second one has students picking between adjectives, nouns, animals etc. Pick the worksheet that works for the majority of your class and then level up or down for each depending on the skill level of your class.

An option is to have students work in small groups to create the story and brainstorm possible word combinations together.
