Writing:
Work on your "Scary Story"  (image is below)
Step 1: Complete your brainstorm of what you will be writing about.  This will be graded on Monday.

Step 2: At minimum, complete your first draft of the Introduction paragraph(s) and the Conflict/Rising Action paragraph(s) of your scary story.  Please remember to use the notes that you took from the slides on Friday. This too will be collected and graded on Monday.

Elements of a scary story:


•                                  Suspense: feelings of excitement or anxiety when the reader tries to figure out the outcome or ending

•                                  Plot twists: a change in plot that takes the story in a different direction than expected

•                                  Conflict: how the characters solve the problem

•                                  Setting: time and location where the story takes place (I have provided the location.  You can choose other settings beside the house)

•                                  Surprise endings: the ending or resolution is not what the reader expected

Additional example settings:

•                                  on a dirt road in a car that will not start at twilight

•                                  in own bedroom when the electricity goes out on a stormy nigh

•                                  in the middle of a cornfield

•                                  on a boat in the middle of a rushing river with no paddle

•                                  in an unfamiliar dark alley

•                                  in an airport in an unfamiliar city
