Summer School 2016 Week Two

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Week Two of Chapter 683 (Summer School)!!!

For the next few weeks we are going to be writing short stories on a variety of topics and themes.  The themes we will be writing about come from Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story.

For Homework:  Your goal is to write everyday for ten minutes without interruption.  Each day will be a new topic.  If you feel like you can not write anymore and there is still time left, re-read what you have written.  Read it aloud and see if there is information that is missing.  Add details and play with the story's order. 

Level 1: Try to aim for at least 3 sentences.  Add one detail to each sentence.

Level 2: Aim for at least 6 sentences.  Add one detail to each sentence and combine two of the 6 sentences together to create a complex sentence.

Level 3:  Write at least 8-9 sentences.  Add one detail to each sentences.  Combine two of 8 together to create a complex sentence.  Rearrange another sentence to create varied sentence structure.

**We will review these techniques in class.  Try your best and bring in your writing so we can workshop your work.
