Short Story Share

Hmmm.... so what are some ideas people have.

Prompt 1: Briefly write about your short story idea. What is the basic plot and setting?

Prompt 2: Briefly respond to someone elses story by making one suggestion to help them change, improve, enhance their idea. Be respectful and be constructive. This is actually harder than it seems.

Due by 11:00 on Sunday night. First entrant only has to do prompt 1.

Reflection on Where We Are!

Please write a brief response to both of the following prompts. Try to at least glance at what your peers say and, if possible, respond to them. This is due by Sunday at 9:30.

Prompt 1: How does it feel to be a senior? Is it very different than being a junior? Are you feeling stressed about colleges or whatever post-graduation life turns out to be? Do you feel like you imagined Seniors felt when you were a lowly ninth grader? Reflect on how your year has gone so far.

Prompt 2: Write down something nice (and respectful) about at least one other student at Lansing.

WWII Fact

You may not repeat facts, so blog early! Due by 7:15 Wednesday morning.
