 * [[image:diffinstrcmtc2010/1.jpg width="165" height="123"]]
 * Start with the 5'w's -- who, what, where, when, how.
 * When you are done, answer the questions yourself then pass your paper to your neighbor. Have them answer the questions or ask more questions.
 * Now take your paper back. Read the responses and add more information in sentence forms.
 * Once this is done, take the statements and write them in order in list format. Pick out your favorite statement or question and use that to begin your story.
 * Add other statements in your list where appropriate so you have the start of a story.
 * Share your start with others and have them ask questions about parts of your story.
