Today our objective was to familiarize ourselves with the elements that make stories engaging by brainstorming in small groups, sharing out our findings, and then practicing that with an in class writing assignment.
Below you will find the question that we used for the writing assignment:

BLOCK:__________________
Here’s your charge: Write a story about an experience during the summer. The story could be truth or fiction. Make it interesting! Demonstrate your understanding of story elements that engage the audience.
