Tandem Short Story

1.      Today we will try to write what is called the tandem story.  The instructions are simple. 

2.      Each person will pair off with a partner (or partners ).

3.      One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story.   Focus on creating a CHARACTER with a CONFLICT.  Remember to indicate SETTING (time, place).

4.      The second partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. 

5.      The first person (or next partner) will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth.

6.      Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story making sense. 

7.      The story is over when the partners agree a conclusion has been reached.
