Collaborative storytelling can feel like a high wire act. That's where Anne Matava comes in. Her scripts are in English, to be custom-translated by the teacher, to suit their particular class and level needs. Parts of the story that students are to supply are underlined, and questions used to elicit those details from students accompany each story. Includes Anne's advice on how to prepare students for stories, how to use the scripts, and how to script your own stories.

Anne Matava's story scripts consist of engaging plots that appeal to the teenage brain, with windows left wide open to invite in kids' creative contributions. The minimum result you can expect is a cohesive and dryly humorous story even if students aren't "on" that day... and if they are a little too "on" you'll still get something that does the job! (If they are in the zone, well, that's where legendary recurring jokes are born and magically smooth acquisition occurs.)
