4.Look through the story starters you’ve done in the last 2 weeks (I could tell you about, Diana/John story, Story Grab bag exercises, Piano Man, Picture freewrites, today’s freewrite) pick up to 3 you have written that you think might make a good story



5.In your tables or in groups of 2-4 people – share your possible idea for a story



6. Choose a story idea you started this week that you want to finish(you can continue where you left off)
