Agenda
1) Warmup—tell me about your favorite kind of music.
2) World's Shortest Stories
Homework
Write a 55-word story
Today we continued our examination of the elements of stories by reading a sample from the book The World's Shortest Stories. This book is a compilation of entries from a contest in which writers tried to write a complete story in just 55 words. Because the stories are so short, we have time to read ten of them in class.
For homework, students will write their own 55-word story. This is not easy! We will work on the stories in class tomorrow, and the final drafts will be posted on the wall. Look for them on Back to School Night.
