WRITING CARNIVAL • A writing carnival is an activity in which a small group works together to produce a text. • The first person takes a prompt and begins a story. They write for a set number of minutes. • It then rotates to the second person, who reads what the first person wrote and then picks up where they left off. They write for a set number of minutes. • Next, it goes to the third person, who reads everything already on the paper and then keeps writing. They write for a set number of minutes. • It continues in this rotation before going back to the original writer, who then completes the story.
