Collection of creative stories 1 . Students are told they will create stories starting from an image they randomly draw out of a set of DIXIT cards . They are also told they can work in teams , but in this scenario , they have to make sure the two cards can be combined in a coherent manner . 2 . Each student then draws a card . 3 . They are free to use an online app to write or just pen and paper . They can also illustrate the story or create it as a cartoon . 4 . All the stories are put together in an online document 9using any of the sites mentioned above ) and each student can read the other stories . They can select a few of them and prepare questions for the authors
The stories can be transformed into QR codes ( using an image of the story , not the text , as that would mean the story would have to be very short for the QR code to be generated ). The QR codes are then placed in the school / class . Each author can create one question to ask the others ( from his / her own story ). All the questions are put together in a document and all the students receive it . Each student wins a number of points according to how many they got right
