Add to the Story is a strategy that helps students think creatively on their feet. A student begins telling a story. When they hear a bell ring (or a horn beep), they have to point at another student to complete their thought, or move on. Students make creative choices about characters, plot, and even realize when it’s time to bring it to an end.
