But Then...

But Then... is a sit-down, individual writing activity.

Directions
Have the students write a story in which every sentence starts with either "And then" or "But then". Make sure each sentence is on its own line on the paper. When they have finished, have the students cut out their sentences and turn them upside-down. Then have them rearrange the order of their sentences and flip them right side up. Have them share their new scrambled stories!
