							| Hello everybody, I �m looking for open ended stories for intermediate students. I �ve already searched the net, but only found one in bogglesworld (the woman that slept 30 years).   Could somebody please help me?   Thanks in advance. |  5 Sep 2010

							| Hello Roald Dahl �s short stories are perfect for you then! most of his short stories end in an ambiguous way, so that you can ask your students to write what �s going to happen next!
 i �ve uploaded one here maybe it will help you!
 have a nice day!

							| Hi Heike, 
 For this purpose you can choose any level-suitable short story and "cut" its end.
 What I do is then ask my students to invent the end of the story, we compare them and I read to them the "real" ending.

							|   hello,   let me share my trick, with the hope, it may help you.   i project such episodes which arouse them to talk more.. i narrate the episode except the endig. i give them the chance to think by giving such tasks initially in the homework. their imagination can go full throttle. i think you can use similar challenges to your class room as per the need.   bhavesh vyas (india) |  5 Sep 2010
