All projects may completed alone or in groups of up to five people. You will have class time to complete ONE of the following projects.

You can post your short stories or play on the class blog at oreillyb5.blogspot.com (or b6, or b7. You get the idea). You can also make your own blog and give me access to it. I suggest you use blogspot.com.

The short story book/blog:
25 HW points    You will write a book with short stories that are based on at least 25 words. You may have no more than two words per story. Your stories will be modelled after the stories I tell you everyday in class, same idea: The story will be based on or refer in some way to an SAT word.

25 HW points    Each story much contains at least four of the following parts of speech: compound sentence with conjunctive adverb, compound sentence with coordinating conjunction, complex sentence, participial phrase, complex/compound sentence, prepositional phrase, and appositive.
    •  Before each story, write which parts of speech will be in the story and highlight them the same colour that they will be highlighted in the text of the story.

 25 HW points    The story introduction/epilogue: You must include a sentence or two before or after the story that explains the story’s relationship to the word. For example: This is a story about a time I absconded. In this case, I absconded to the beach.

25 Participation points    Illustrate each story using any media. You may not simply download Google images unless you tastefully collage the images.

25 Participation points    The book must be gorgeous. On finals day, you will read in an engaging and lively fashion two short stories or one longer one.
