Open ended stories
 

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.

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.
