Before you begin, write 5 sentences on the board that should serve as the 'answers' to some questions you will ask after the story. Leave a blank space for certain information. Ex: 'The film was called _______.' 'I went to the cinema with ________.' etc. Begin to tell the story, including all the information that will be necessary to complete the answers.
