2 TWO-SENTENCE STORIES 3 In groups of three or four students, imagine you are judges for a competition of fantastic two-sentence stories. Look for two-sentence stories on YouTube and choose the one you like the most. Share your story with your classmates. Then vote for the best story as a class. If your story takes the first place, your group wins. 4 In pairs, read the definitions. Discuss the meaning with your teacher. Then read the two-sentence stories below and underline the anticlimactic sentence in each story. Explain why they are anticlimactic. What is an anticlimax? An anticlimax is a conclusion that goes against the reader s expectations. What is a cliffhanger? A cliffhanger is an abrupt end where the main character is left in a difficult situation. 1 I got home, tired after a long day s work and ready for a relaxing night alone. I reached for the light switch but ather hand was already there. 3 The ugly face looks at me through my kitchen window. I live on the 19th floor. 2 This morning I found a photo on my cell phone of me sleeping comfortably last night. I live alone. 4 I go upstairs to check on my sleeping baby. The window is open and the bed is empty. 5 I m in bed and with my feet out of the covers. I feel a cold hairy hand touch my feet. 5 In small groups, write a fantastic two-sentence story. Remember to mention the setting (the place and time of your story) in any of your sentences. Share your work with the rest of the class. In this sentence mention your main character (most important person in your story) and an action your main character does. Everything must be ordinary or everyday so that the reader does t suspect what is going to happen next. In this sentence, you mention an anticlimactic action or fact that the reader does t expect. The sentence must t tell us how the main character solves the situation (cliffhanger).

10 Answer Key Creative Corner Worksheets TWO-SENTENCE STORIES 1 Video number 2 2 Story 1: My brother says that a man killed him. But Mom says that I don t have a brother. Story 2: A girl hears her mom call her name from the kitchen, so she stands up and starts to run. When she gets to the stairs, her mom pulls her into her room and says, I heard that, too and it wasn t me. Story 3: I woke up when I heard through the baby monitor my wife s voice singing a lullaby to my child. Then I moved in bed and, by accident, my arm touched my wife s, sleeping next to me. 4 1 I got home, tired after a long day s work and ready for a relaxing night alone. I reached for the light switch but ather hand was already there. The underlined sentence is anticlimactic because the speaker makes it clear that he/she lives alone and there should be body in the house. It is a cliffhanger because if one lives with the speaker, somebody entered his/her house. ADVENTURE STORY 2 This morning I found a photo on my cell phone of me sleeping comfortably last night. I live alone. The underlined sentence is anticlimactic because you imagine somebody who lives with the speaker took the photo but he/she lives with one. It is a cliffhanger because if one lives with the speaker, then somebody entered his/her house or is still there. 3 The ugly face looks at me through my kitchen window. I live on the 19th floor. The underlined sentence is anticlimactic because you expect somebody to be looking at the speaker from the garden or street but this is impossible as he/she lives on the 19th floor. It is a cliffhanger as he/she lives on the 19th floor; the ugly face may be supernatural. 4 I go upstairs to check on my sleeping baby. The window is open and the bed is empty. The underlined sentence is anticlimactic because you expect the mother/ father to find their sleeping baby, but apparently somebody took him/her away. It is a cliffhanger because apparently somebody took him/her or the baby left in a supernatural way. 5 I m in bed and with my feet out of the covers. I feel a cold hairy hand touch my feet. The underlined sentence is anticlimactic because the speaker is resting peacefully in his/her bed and, suddenly, a cold somebody touches him/her. It is a cliffhanger because the cold somebody may be a ghost or somebody dead. 1 1 is; 2 encouraged; 3 went; 4 was; 5 took; 6 am going to travel; 7 was; 8 decided; 9 was; 10 reached; 11 was; 12 am going to build 2 1 knives; 2 hammock; 3 Bible; 4 seeds; 5 blankets; 6 tools; 7 pistols; 8 gunpowder; 9 pens; 10 ink 3 1 T; 2 F: There are dolphins; 3 F: He is traveling with a crew; 4 F: He finds one footprint; 5 T; 6 T; 7 F: They become friends. 4 There is / are Cast Away Life of Pi The Swiss Family Robinson a shipwreck a raft (boat) Survivor Lost Lord of the Flies (it doesn t show) (looks like a boat) an island animals a fire a hut many castaways 5 Cast Away Life of Pi The Swiss Family Robinson Survivor Lost Lord of the Flies Voice-over (voice that narrates the story) Music Pace (at moments it s down a bit) Dialogue Special effects
