Round Robin

Beyonce was having such a hard time thinking about what to do for her next world tour.

She knew she should be paying attention to the game, but she was just so preoccupied with her thoughts she couldn't concentrate.

It was her first time away from her child, since she had been born, and she was in a state of panic, thinking about the possibilities of the new babysitter messing everything up!

 Luckily the babysitter, Kimmy, had a lot of experience with kids and took care of everything for her.

There was no more stress to be had, so everyone kicked up their heels in relaxation to enjoy big bowls of jelly and ice cream.


When this assignment was first being explained, I was not sure how I felt about the structure. It seemed very simple but it also very reliant on other participants. Usually, I am reluctant for these types of projects but I was excited to try this new idea. I think the concept of having several people contribute to one story is intriguing. It turns out that having so many a variety of perspectives offered into one product results in something very cool which is a funny story in this case. My story was something I was so anxious to get done. I sent the first part of my story that same Wednesday and got the second part back soon after. I wanted to know what others would say about the topic. The result was so understandable even though each person, beside myself, could only see the sentence and picture before them. Surprisingly, my entire story made sense and was entertaining. Because of different knowledge of Beyonce and Kim Kardashian, personality traits and relationships were included in the story contributions which made it good. I would say using this in the classroom would be incredibly practical. This is fun because students would be applying their knowledge of stories or plots they are familiar with to make a better one. They can also use their own imagination to write relevant stories that relate to what they have read. This assignment is a cool twist to doing things like writing alternate endings to stories or practicing critical thinking skills.
