with thanks for porcgi who put the ‘story_openings’ pdf on this site (copyright 2001 teachit.co.uk), all I’ve really done is extend and personalise it in such a way that anyone else can take the stuff and for example substitute the stories that *I* wanted to base my lesson on with theirs. It work More…ed really well, with printing the cards onto different coloured paper. Wrote the short story myself which you could change as the kids really liked that aspect as well. Topcis also included are: structure, flow and pace.
