10 Minutes Remaining in Class

What to do when there's only a few minutes left in class? We had about 10 minutes remaining in class and I had hoped to begin another mini-story. However, with only 10 minutes I knew we would be very limited to what we could accomplish so instead of starting the story, I had the students think of as many descriptions they could to introduce a new character in a story. I wrote their lists on the board (see below). We will use some of these tomorrow for the story.
