** Storytelling **


 * “The universe is made of stories, not atoms.” **

 Have you ever wondered what makes a good story? Is it the intriguing characters, foreign destinations or a challenging problem? You read and hear many stories in your life time. What made you interested in it and kept your interest?

 As a writer, authors compose a variety of stories that need to ‘hook’ their readers into what they write. What are the components of a story? What are the differences between a good and bad story?

 To develop the skills we need, we will be reading about the process of writing a story, reading and analyzing a variety of short stories, and identify the story elements. We will be working as individuals, in pairs, and small groups.

 After careful analysis of stories, your task will be to compose a short story of your own to be presented to the class using multimedia. You will be able to choose how you present your story either as a written document, PowerPoint, Story Builder website, or Comic Creator.
