Short Story Creative Writing (Roll-a-Story)

Introductory PowerPoint covering the elements of a short story plus silly story starters for creative writing in a "Roll-a-Story" format. These four "Roll-a-Story" cards allow for 864 different story combinations! Students first roll a die to select a character, then roll to select a setting and one more roll to select the conflict. Then let the creative writing fun begin. I suggest laminating the "Roll-a-Story" cards. Students only need to use a card briefly, for three rolls of the die. Then they can pass the card to another student. This format also works great for use in a writing center.
