It can be about a treasure seeker, magic, our solar system, a exotic country/place, robots in the future, etc. You will be graded on your creativity so try to be as creative as possible!
The ONLY thing that is due today is your Paragraph outline. I've posted a copy for all of you on google classroom so you should be able to write directly on the worksheet.
It is a T-chart just like we completed in class when we wrote about our favorite movies! Remember, this is very informal. You may even just write bullet points as your answers.
Paragraph Outline
Reminders: Your stories always need a title.
You always need a beginning, middle and conclusion when writing a story.
While you are completing your T-Chart and brainstorming, the more details you add, the easier it will be to write your story!
Be as creative as possible!
