recently I had to hire a sub to teach my class while I attended a meeting elsewhere. I had written a story starter on the board for them to work on in the morning.
This is the starter I gave them:
"When I walked into my classroom on Thursday, my teacher was nowhere to be found."
The students wrote stories about how I was kidnapped, sick, or at a meeting, but my favorite was this:
"When I walked into my classroom on Thursday, my teacher was nowhere to be found. She went on an airplane to go Japan..."
I wish.
I wonder if this little one knows something I don't.
