WebQuest, Day 2

Today 702 completed all tasks (if you didn't, please complete for homework, as we will not have laptops tomorrow).
731 will use the laptops for one more period tomorrow. Whatever is not completed should be done over the weekend.

Tasks we worked on today:
#2: Visit http://www.teachersnetwork.org/dcs/cyberenglish/outdoorpath3.htm
Read, modify and copy prompts into writer's sourcebook. Complete prompts. Generate a list of story ideas that you gathered from completing the prompts

#3: Read at least two published realistic fiction pieces from one or both of the following sites:
http://www.teachingmatters.org/ezine/category?cat=Realistic%20Fiction
and/or
http://www.teenink.com/Fiction

Read two stories that interest you. Record the titles, authors, brief summary (main idea of the story) and the ways in which the stories fit the realistic fiction genre.

#4: Reflect on a realistic fiction book you've read recently. Write a short summary of the book, including the author and title.
Visit either http://amazon.com or http://www.bn.com or http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/teenreading/trw/trw2005/fiction.cfm
and search for teen fiction. Find three realistic fiction titles that you have not read, but want to. Record the titles, authors, and a brief summary of the books. If visiting the ALA website, you will not get a detailed book summary. You will need to then visit Amazon or BN to obtain this info.

#5: Select an idea for your story.

#6: Write a 1- to 2-paragraph summary of your story idea that reflects your understanding of the genre and the task.
