Using Problem Solving Cards and working in pairs, students were first given a situation card for the basis of a narrative. Then additional cards to continually add new dimensions to their stories. Different cards provided different story ideas and challenged the students to continual review, adapt and develop their stories. Other challenges were given including “Use the next card as a smell or a sound” etc.. Amazing stories were created today.
