In order to make them think about what could make those experiences interesting when turned into anecdotes, the T will ask: Have you experienced something similar? Or how would you feel in a situation like that? Ss will not answer the questions. T will ask them to think and make notes, if they want. They can also invent a story. Ss will be provided with prompt questions, as well.
