Question
Form pairs and make a 'pair presentation' of any one of the two stories. To do so, each person presents only one sentence at a time, and the next one is immediately presented by the partner. Thus, each person in the pair presents alternate sentences without breaking the flow of the narration.
Solution
First student: The Emperor entered the court with a very serious expression on his face.
Partner: As soon as he was seated, he said that he had a question for his courtiers.
First Student: He asked what the punishment should be for someone who pulls his mustache.
Partner: One nobleman said that the person must be flogged and given fifty lashes of the whip.
(The pair can complete the story in this way, with each person in the pair saying only one sentence at a time.)
Notes
Students must do this on their own.
