The data were collected by analyzing articles, journals, and papers. There are many ways or strategies that can be used by teachers to help students to build their creativity in writing. However, unfinished story is chosen by the teacher to create a different learning style. In addition, using unfinished story is considered a simple and effective teaching writing strategy in EFL classes.
