October 17, 2007

October 17, 2007
Students wrote brief scary stories in response to black and white photos.

We discussed what makes it easy to write bad fiction --so we need to avoid those problems if we want to write good fiction!

We also discussed basic story structure.

We read a very short story called "Heading Home."

Students had a little time to work on their scary stories which are due by the end of the period on October 29. We will be in the computer lab that day.

Reminder -- the three typed poems are due by October 23. Make sure they are ready to mount and display.

Our special guest will be coming on Friday, October 19.
