Narrative Writing: Short Stories













Students will learn to write short stories.  The
projects on this page will give them practice in doing
that.

The first project in September and October will be
a group "scary story" with a
Halloween motif.  
Students will collaboratively develop the elements
of a story, design a storyboard and then create a
power point presentation of their story.








The second narrative story will be to write a
either a Greek
myth or a
fable after reading the Holt Literature textbook,
pages 208-233.  Students will use a word processor to
write
and
publish it, including either imported images or hand drawn
illustrations.
 They can also, if they wish, create a multimedia
version of the story as well or as a comic strip.
