This is such a fun creative writing activity. This activity has students work in a small group to create a fun and unique story. They will be passing around their writing outline to their group of 5. The first student will choose a character and their characteristics. Then fold the paper down so the next student cannot see what they have written. Student 2 will decide the setting and then fold the paper down again. This will continue to student 3 and 4 where they will choose the conflict and the solution. Then the original student will get their paper back and open their paper and use their outline to create their own creative story. This makes the writing a little bit challenging as they try to create a story that was chosen by their fellow classmates. This can also be a super fun and creative way to expand students writing by stretching them a little outside their comfort zone.

These are editable choice boards for ELA. I have included 5 color gradients that you can choose from, to help match with your classroom decor! The categories that I have included are phonics, comprehension, writing, spelling, digital, vocab, and blank ones for you to add your own.

What is included are large labels for labeling any supplies/resources that you have for students to use as activities, and individual choice boards for each category with 6 choices. These are the digitally editable parts of the product.

To be able to edit, you will need to open the product in Google Slides, then wherever editable is written, you can click on that and type because it is a text box. You can also add your own text boxes if necessary.

This would be a great product for early finishers and also during your small groups (students who are not meeting with you can choose what they would like to work on)! You could print off each choice board, but what I would recommend is having the choice board for the day projected onto a board/smart board and have students move their names onto where they would like to go! (If you need help finding a way to do this digitally, feel free to send me a message and I will try to help!)

I really hope you enjoy it! I have had great success with choice boards and has helped me with keeping my students engaged and making them take control of their own learning. Please rate and review!
