Student: "I'm Stuck." Peers: "What If...?"

                    
Sometimes writers are clicking along and out of nowhere realize they are "stuck."  What to do?  With young writers in a classroom or small group setting, using peers to give them a jump start usually does the trick.  I used the "What If" strategy to teach kids how to ask this question of themselves as well as with peers to keep their story moving.

Try it!  What do you think?
