When I first began using TPRS I often struggled with co-creating an engaging story with student-generated details. Stories would often fall flat or the classroom would erupt in frustration over whose details I had chosen. As a result I began using what I call Story Formulas to help me stay on track, maintain an interesting story line, and prevent classroom brawls over story details. In this presentation you will see the entire process of Story Formula creation, implementation, and preservation.
