This ready-to-use resource contains 30 exciting story starters that model good writing and help any student get past writer's block! The prompts provide scaffolding through rich characters, imaginative settings, and an edge-of-your-seat cliffhanger. "And then . . ." students put their natural storytelling skills to work, dreaming up their own unique endings. Teachers are sure to enjoy reading about what's under the door in the floor, what the voices in the root beer are saying, what arrived via special delivery, and other stories with endless possibilities!

How to use this product:
After students have completed several stories, let each student select his or her favorite to put in a class book. To make the class book, organize chapters according to the different story starters. Place a specific story starter at the beginning of a section and arrange all the student continuations of that story after that initial page. There may be more than one version of each story. Next, have students collaborate on a cover design. Bind together all the pages, and place the book in the classroom library or Reading Center!
