To further enhance the student’s learning experience, I suggest encouraging her to explore different genres or styles of writing within the role play. Implementing writing prompts that challenge her to create stories from various perspectives can broaden her storytelling abilities. Additionally, providing feedback on her writing, focusing on the elements of storytelling, characterization, and emotional expressiveness, can help her reflect and improve.
