Grade 4 – Collaborative Story Writing

This worksheet is designed for Grade 4 students to strengthen narrative writing, creativity, and collaboration by co-writing a story with ChatGPT. Students begin by choosing a story theme and planning key narrative elements-such as main character, setting, mood, and problem-before taking turns adding sentences alongside AI-generated contributions. This shared writing process helps learners see how stories grow through sequencing, idea building, and thoughtful revision.
