Soooo, I'm not sure whom to give credit for this idea. It started in one of Mr. Sextro's classes in high school. Someone would start a story by writing a sentence in a notebook and pass it on to the next person. Then it would go on until class was over, or the story was over, or until someone got caught.....oh, I don't think anyone ever got caught.
Well, on the car ride home from Grandma and Grandpa's we started a story, one sentence at a time.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful butterfly......
.....who flew into a spider web and the spider wrapped her up and sucked her blood out of her.....
....but there was another butterfly that was kind to all the ladybugs....
....this butterfly was magic and sparkly....
......(I was distracted at this point so I missed some of it)......
....the magic butterfly would put one sparkle on leaves so she would not lose her way.....
....(again, distracted).....
.....they were looking for a new home on a different planet but no planet was just right for them so they came back home to earth and lived happily ever after! The End!
Imagination, cooperation, characters, plots, problem solving....
I'm glad I got something out of Mr. Sextro's class! (It certainly was not calculus.)
