Today we embarked on an interesting journey...through the Internet....to learn more about realistic fiction writing, generate story ideas, and read model stories written by students just like you around country.
Our first stop: http://www.southernct.edu/~brownm/Grea.html
We identified various sub-genres in realistic fiction, took notes in writer's sourcebooks, and created a list of story ideas.
Since you worked at your own pace and comfort level, some students proceeded to the second stop: http://teachersnetwork.org/dcs/cyberenglish/outdoorpath3.htm
At this stop, you answered (making changes when necessary) several prompts. These helped you generate story ideas based on your interests, experiences, relationships, etc.
We will continue our WebQuest tomorrow.
Please note: Our Poetry Slam will be rescheduled from this Friday to a day next week. The auditorium is being used all day Friday for high school testing. More details to come.
