  Hello, I am Durga Pandeya from Nepal. I teach English as a \nsecond/foreign language  to 14 to 18 age group students. I have been \nworking as a teacher for 15 years in a government school of Nepal.
  Teaching\n story is very motivating and developing writing skills too. Chain story\n writing is very interesting  and simple & innovative way that I too\n practice for my students . Besides this, i  practice other techniques \nlike giving out lines to complete a skeleton story, and \nsome times i assign them to ask their grand parents to tell some \nindigenous folk tales and collect them and share them in the class. This\n activity some times as a project who could collect good and interesting\n stories award them marks for good deeds. They are free to use mother \ntongue. Finally they write the story on their own in English and pasted \non the dis play board for all to read. I find a lot of students \ngathering at the display board and reading the story of their choice \nduring  breaks and after school hour. But unfortunately I have not done \nit in any blog posting because I have just learned a little about blog \nposting and creating a blog. If blogs are created the students will be \nmore excited to post their writing as they have greater sharing.
   Chain\n stories can also be practiced in a different way too that is teacher \nfirst writes a single line and gives to  a student to add a single line \nonly but he or she can see just the upper line only and add to the last \nline.In the same way  go on rotating whole class . finally a story \ndeveloped in 30 to 50 lines or sentences and read in the class. More \noften the story brings laughter in the class.  I also practice in my \nclass narrating any interesting event of their family or personal life \ntthat really took place in the past . This idea has also engaged \nstudents to make their personal story very interesting and worthy enough\n to tell others.
