Happy Pi Day! |

Today’s Agenda:
1. Make a list: How many stories can you think of in which a main character starts out in the real world and somehow enters another world? You can use books, movies, television shows, etc. Here are a couple to get you started: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (The children enter Narnia by several different ways in the series.) The Wizard of Oz ("Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.") What others can you think of? Here are a few more: Going into Another World 2. Read-Aloud from Alice in Wonderland 3. Read the first chapter of Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins 4. Prepare to write a story about falling (or otherwise entering) an Underland of your own creation! Use your composition books for your sketches and writing. 5. If you have time, get started writing your story. |
If you were absent:
You can read the first chapter of Alice in Wonderland at https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rgs/alice-I.html You can read the first chapter of Gregor the Overlander at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4682840 Ask for the handout for writing your story when you come back. You can, even without the handout, start writing a story about an Underland of your own creation. |
