The Three Person Story

So i'm having my students write what I have dubbed as "The Three Person Story." Essentially I give them a piece of paper with Introduction, Development, and Conclusion written on the paper. One person writes the intro, one the development, and another the conclusion but they are NOT allowed to look at each stage of the story; that way when they read the whole story it's a little disjointed but it's mostly funny. It gives them an excellent opportunity to utilize the new vocabulary I give them while also employing their Enlgish writing skills without the fear of looking funny in front of their peers because EVERYONE'S story is ridiculous. My favorite by far is as follows:

Introduction (도입)- Molly teacheris family meet! they are eat turky eat pie and Boom Family face pie! Oh happy day.

Development (전개)- Stupid Jack put the pumpkin pie in Gun. Jack is put guns cranberries, turkey and Mashed potatoes too.

Conclusion (결말)- The rabbits go to bed. Sleeping to night. The rabbit is the hot night. It's hiding rabbits Soto meets. Enjoy times.

As stated by 민수 (Min Su) Oh happy day!

Anyeong!

*Update*

Another student ended his story by stating: "and then he is died and the North Koreans trampled him" Morbid much?? Yet i'm still oddly amused and comforted by the language of "trampled" here.

Another students ended HIS story by stating: "Teacher, happy ending." I have such smart students ^.^
