Hi all, this a really nice activity I use to motivate my students to write an original and interesting story using musical ideas. All you need is pick four different musical pieces. You might want to choose four totally different music genres to prompt your students imagination. Play the pieces once at a time and ask your students to draw a picture of whatever comes to their minds when listening to the song. I usually ask my students to draw one picture and then pass his/her sheet to the person next to them, so in the end they get four pictures drawn by four of their classmates. Then, I ask them to write a story using the pictures they got. You may focus on any grammatical structure you may be studying at the moment. Here's the worksheet. I hope you enjoy this activity.
