Experience:
I used to give a new prompt each Monday. Students would get time at the start of class to write. By the end of the week they had a story draft. Toward the end of the semester, I would have students choose one story they’d written to clean-up and expand on.
Students seem to love pair sharing many of the stories they write for this activity. I was always amazed how different each story would be.
Sometimes I printed 5 copies of 4 different stories so there was a variety at one time. This also helped ensure students were making up their own stories instead of copying from a neighbor.
