First Suspense Story (small)

Today we will begin the process of our first small suspense story. 

• First, you'll complete the 5 W worksheet.  This will help you to brainstorm the who, what, when, where and why of your story.
• While brainstorming make sure your story:                                                                                         -is not silly (no aliens, fire balls, man eating animals, zombies etc...)                                                     -is realistic (as realist as you can make it based on personal experience or priop knowledge                 -has original characters (with realistic names, ages, appearances and personality traits)
• Next, locate the packet at each table (there is one for everyone and they you should NOT write on them.
• On a piece of loose leaf, respond to the prompts (1-12) in the packet referring to your 5 W worksheet to help move your story along

Tomorrow we'll have the laptop cart, so that you can turn your ideas into a story.
