๐Ÿ“ 3 Word Stories – the cure to creative writing

If you’re wanting to introduce creative writing but aren’t sure where to start, ย one great technique is to use “3 Word Stories.”

Just as the title suggests you give the students a topic and they write a whole story in just 3 words.

It sounds simple, yes? ย But you should see some of the amazing works of art that come out of it. ย It is just mind blowing! ๐Ÿคฏ

And of course it removes the dreaded “fear of the blank page” paralysis that all humans face.

Here are a few examples from the fantastic Genki English community on Facebook – you are all amazing!
