Communicative Activities with Writing

This website has some intermediate communicative activities that incorporate some writing skills and concepts like theme, plot, setting, and characters.  The Story Game suggests that students use these concepts by telling a story in a circle, in which students build the story one sentence at a time.  Other activities, such as the Newspaper Headline activity, use writing components at first and then students present their written product to the class.

These activities don't have really specific guidelines, so I think teachers can use these ideas as a starting point and adapt them to fit their own curriculum or goals.  I like most of these ideas because they do have a writing component and encourage teamwork and conversation.
