Monday's Assignment

Follow each step closely to ensure you get the very best grade and share the very best story that you can on Wednesday:

1.)    Pick a story from your Google Drive Account that you wish to share on Wednesday.

2.)    Go back into your story.  Re-read it.  Add to it.  Complete the story.

3.)    Pay close attention to the ending- make it a great ending.

Ex: “…and they were never heard from again.”

4.)    Go in and add details and description to your story.  That’s what will enhance and make it better! 

5.)    Use www.thesaurus.com to find better word choice.  Or you could always google it. YOU MUST EXCHANGE AT LEAST 8 WORDS IN YOUR STORY WITH BETTER ONES.  I can see your revisions on your google drive…so I’ll be checking these!

6.)    Make sure you slow down and describe important moments in detail to create more suspense.  Remember what the Article by LEE CHILD said about suspense?  Make your reader HUNGRY for more of your story.

7.)    Make sure your story has a “good hook.”  Work on the beginning just as much as the ending- grab the reader, and intrigue us to read on. (This may require you to change and edit your story throughout- and that’s ok!)

8.)    Check your Rubric!  Make sure you have EVERYTHING prepared to make an A.  If you need to print, see the “printing directions” and you may go to the 6^th grade lab to do so.

 ...And Remember... don't panic.  This isn't due until Wednesday.  You have Tuesday to work on this as well :)
