Text types

Monosyllabic: only use words of one syllable to re-tell the story

Never ending tale: write a story that once you read it, if you start again it makes sense, so that in fact you could start anywhere. What if ...

a prince married a woman with two daughters. The prince is exiled by the king. His daughter (cinderella) is left with her step mother and step sisters to be treated as a slave. Another prince has a ball, Cinderella goes with the help of a fairy godmother, she loses a slipper. The prince finds her, they marry and have a child, but tragically Cinderella dies. The prince names the child Cinderella. He later falls in love again. (back to the start)

Similes - put as many as you can into one story. Don't worry about over-doing it.
