Accidental writing

1. Tell the students about an accident you have had - maybe as a child. Ask them to write down 5-10 key words from your story and then collect all the words on the board.
2. Ask the students to think of an accident they have had and write down just the key words (5-10) from that incident.
3. Pair the students and tell them to exchange papers (key words). The key words then become their own and they write an account of the accident in the first person singular as though it had happened to them.
4. While the students are writing you can circulate helping with vocabulary and structures where needed.
5. When the students have finished they exchange the papers, read the accounts and tell their partner how near the truth it is.
