8. Review: SOFTEN

9. One Inch Tall Person One Inch Tall Person
I did three round of this game.
You do have to help them a little with their story in the first round- they get pretty good at it as you go along.
Round one: I started the story… Once upon a time there was a one inch tall person who lived…
Round two: Ask a student to be the story starter
Round three: have a student start- but they have to say a name of student after each addition, then go till ALL have added to the story.

10. Here’s how it works One side tries to protect/save the One Inch person
Other side is trying to cause the One Inch person problems or put obstacles in their way.
Before you continue the story you must paraphrase what the person before you said
This does not mean say everything they said, just an overall idea of what they said

Final Thoughts
Sarah Dessen, author of Just Listen, says,
“This is the problem with dealing with someone who is actually a good listener. They don’t jump in on your sentences, saving you from actually finishing them, or talk over you, allowing what you do manage to get out to be lost or altered in transit. Instead, they wait, so you have to keep going.’”
Big concept
