Instructions for this exercise
Decide a set of pictures or words that are going to be the guides for the story. Using a digital spinning wheel, students need to come up with a story about the picture they get. Each one makes up a sentence, and the next one goes on with the same story, but using the picture they get from the wheel.
You can modify the wheel as you wish and choose the images according to the theme of the exercise.
