All Together Now…

Hi Class! Post the beginning of a story for your classmates to complete (at least 50 words). An interesting opening  paragraph will entice a classmate (or several classmates) to finish your story. Do not write a dull opening paragraph or on a topic of little interest to others. Be creative, be exciting, be imaginative, be appropriate for the school environment!

Your opening paragraph is due Wednesday January 11th.

Once your opening paragraph is posted, you must complete three other stories or more. Use at least 100 words when completing each of the stories. Remember to use a variety of powerful and interesting words. Additionally, you are expected to use transition words and phrases between sentences (here is another link for transitions). Your three story completions are due Wednesday January 18th.

Finally, write your ending to your story (at least 100 words) by Monday January 23.
