Story Ending Builder

Students read the opening of a story involving two children who discover a mysterious box containing a silver map. They must write their own continuation and ending that makes sense, follows a logical order, and completes the story. This activity develops students’ ability to extend a narrative while keeping characters, setting, and tone consistent. It encourages creativity while reinforcing structure, coherence, and clear transitions. Students also practice problem-solving by determining what should reasonably happen next in the plot.
