Beginning, Middle and End

Beginning, Middle and End is a sit-down, small group activity that requires paper and something to write with.

Directions
Collaborate with the children to work out a summary of a story with three sentences: One sentence for the beginning of the story, one for the middle, and one for the end.

Divide the children into three small groups. The goal of one group is to flesh out the beginning, one to flesh out the middle, and one to flesh out the end of the story. When all the groups are finished, put the pieces together and share your collaborative story.
