Jumble Story: Students choose four numbers (from 1 to 10). Each number corresponds to an item on the list
below. The first number is the character their stories are to focus on, the second number is the setting for
their stories, and so forth.
Assignment: Write a story with the character, setting, time period, and situation that you've chosen. The
character that you've chosen should be the main character in the story, but isn't necessarily the ONLY
character in the story. Likewise, most of the story will take place in the setting that you've chosen, but you can
include other settings or elaborate on the setting that you have chosen (breaking it into several smaller
settings, for example). The situation or challenge that you've chosen may involve the main character or your
main character may observe someone else who must deal with the situation or challenge. In other words, you
can combine these elements anyway that you desire, so long as all four are included in your story.
