So often when we give students a writing prompt, we give them the beginning and ask them to write the rest. One of my favorite activities is to give them the ending and ask them to come up with the beginning.
Some of my favorite endings to use:
* and then your teacher went home.
* and then the cookies were gone.
* and then the zoo closed.
* and then the doorbell rang.
* and then we closed the fridge.
* and then he scored a goal.
* and then they screamed.
* and then the power went out.
* then he took off his mask
To add another element of rigor you can give them the phrase and ask them to decide to use it in the beginning or the end of their story.
