Teachers may be creative, BUT coming up with new story
starters can get tiring and they can become not-so-creative.
The Story Starter, Jr. generates random story starters for students.
Some Examples of Story Starters I Found:
- The monster was experimenting in the lonely room.
- The apple picker was laughing when it was snowing.
- The ghost was crying on top of the mountain.
Standards:
Math: Second Grade: Fluently add and subtract within 20 using mental strategies.2 By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
What Would I Use This For:
*Of course, I could use these story starters for the students to create stories, or to journal about*
However when thinking outside of the box, here’s what I came up with…
I would this site to generate a story starter and write it on the board.
I would then allow students to free write using the written sentence as either a beginning sentence
or use the sentence as inspiration for a story.
I could also use this to create funny, story problems for math with my students.
For EX. The apple picker was laughing when it was snowing.
-Let’s imagine that this apple picker has 15 apples in his basket, as he is laughing he drops 10 apples. How many apples does he have left?-
