Description
Collaboration helps youngsters understand writing as a public, communal act, rather than as a private, isolated one. Many people write papers that make sense to them but that aren't clear or persuasive for others. Peer reviewers help participants to understand that they aren't writing for themselves, but for readers. Collaborative writing is one of the many approaches you can use to accomplish a written piece. It can be an effective method to produce a high-quality output when utilized correctly. However, it’s no secret that writing with someone else may also have disadvantages. When collaborative writing is considered there is shared responsibility amongst people, more and more ideas would be generated, and a good relationship would be developed amongst the group.

Step-by-step description:
1. Discuss a story that is known to all participants (Little Red Riding Hood). What
makes a good story? What are some common problems in stories? How do
these problems get solved?
2. With the story and problem familiar to the group, add a few characters from
other stories and have the group some up with alternate solutions to the
problem in the story.
3. Each group takes the same (new) story / problem and comes up with an
individual solution, which they act out.
4. Discuss the characters added to the story. What kinds of characters do we have
in storytelling? How do these characters relate to the problem?
