Do your young authors suffer from writer's block when they try to write short stories? Access their natural creativity with C-Gor, the writing monster! The instructional activity takes aspiring authors through a new writing process called C-Gor (Character, Goals, Obstacles, Results), in which they list ten of each element, then choose random combinations about which they can write a story. The writing will be zany, creative, and best of all, fun!
