WIOA Spontaneous Stories
Ø Create slips of paper numbered 1 to 10 and place them in a bag or cup. Replace the numbers after each drawing.
Ø Have students draw 4 numbers:
- The first number is the employee - The third number is the time period
- The second number is the setting - The fourth number is the situation
Use the employee, setting, time period, and situation to write a story. Not sure about what these occupations are? Google them and find out!
After finishing the stories, have students draw directions from a cup that show how they would present their story. Students could: 1. Read the story; 2. Use role play to act out the story. Students may choose anyone who is part of the class to help them including the instructor;
3. Charades: Get the class to guess the employee/setting/time period/situation.
