I have the Matava scripts, but where can I find/order/buy the Tripp scripts? Thanks!
Somewhere in this blog is a post from Laurie with a bunch of those kinds of structure pairs that lead almost automatically into a story. I couldn’t find it just now.
Thanks Ben I was just trying to rough out my instruction time for next year and this post is exactly what I needed.
Yes, I agree. This is perfect timing because I was trying to outline some things as well. What I have planned for the first few days so far is to spin mini-stories based upon their questionnaires. For example, one of the questions is “What do you really want but don’t have?” So, if I come across an interesting response, then I will use that to tell a mini story using “wants, has, gives to him/her” and will use the student who wrote that response as the main character. It will end up being a similar story to Blaine’s that was recently posted somewhere about the Pepsi but it will be a little more personal based upon what they wrote. So I am going to try this along with the random mini stories. By the way, any other mini stories or verb pairs such as “looks for” and “finds” would be very helpful!! 🙂 Thank you!!
Keri, sometimes the questionnaires lead to great interaction because you can follow a line of “trades” until people get what they want. One year I had something like the following:
Nick has giant clown shoes and doesn’t want them; he wants a blue Nerf ball.
Susie has a blue Nerf ball and doesn’t want it; she also doesn’t want giant clown shoes; she wants a miniature white unicorn.
Matt has a miniature white unicorn but doesn’t want it; he doesn’t want giant clown shoes or a blue Nerf ball; he wants a Lamborghini.
Jessica has a Lamborghini but doesn’t want it; she doesn’t want a white unicorn or a blue Nerf ball; Jessica wants giant clown shoes.
Susie gives Nick the blue Nerf ball, and Nick gives Susie the giant clown shoes. Nick is happy because he has what he wants, but Susie doesn’t want the giant clown shoes.
Matt gives Susie the white unicorn, and Susie gives Matt the giant clown shoes. Nick is happy, and Susie is happy. Nick and Susie are happy because they have what they want. Matt is not happy because he does not want giant clown shoes.
Matt gives Jessica the giant clown shoes, and Jessica gives Matt the Lamborghini. Jessica is happy because she has what she wants; Matt is happy because he has what he wants; Susie is happy because she has what she wants; Nick is happy because he has what he wants. All are happy because they have what they want.
It helped that these students understood how to play the game. If I remember correctly, I started (based on the questionnaire) with “Nick wants a blue Nerf ball. Who has a blue Nerf ball but doesn’t want it?” Then we just built from there. It was less a “story” and more an interaction. Then we narrated the interaction as a story.
Thank you, Robert!
so the structures would be something like:
has
wants
doesn’t have
doesn’t want, and but.
Great story thank you!
Now to dollar tree to get five random props to play it out in class.
Don’t forget “gives”.
I usually provide “not” as a separate word rather than teaching the negative structures – of course it helps that in German they don’t use the auxiliary “do/does”. A more literal rendering of the start of the story would be:
– Nick has giant clown shoes and wants them not. He wants a blue Nerf ball (but has it not).
@Beth….Bryce is selling Jim’s scripts

Here you go Michele! Haiyun also recorded a short presentation that I did for her Chinese teachers at NTPRS on this subject which I might be able to share once she has it uploaded.
