Build Upon Your Story

Today you should continue to build upon your story.  All students should have their stories finished by tomorrow.

Assignment:
  • Today you will brainstorm and outline your story [or build upon what you already have]
  • Rework your story to incorporate actual historical events
  • Make sure it fits a "Story Arc" -- a problem to be solved and a resolution
  • When it's finished, have at least one classmate read your story and write some notes/suggestions on your paper -- then have them sign next to their suggestions.  
    • These suggestions can include spelling/grammar corrections, ideas to make the story better, or just feedback about the story in general.
    • Students who leave feedback on a classmates paper [if I can read their signature] will receive Extra Credit.  
    • If you get feedback from TWO of your classmates [or more], then YOU will get extra credit as well.
  • Neatly rewrite your story utilizing your classmates feedback.  
  • Keep your originals with classmate feedback to turn in with your finished story.
