This is based on a project that was called Write On...Our Progressive Story.
There will be three to four classes in each progressive story depending upon enrollment in the project.
Class one writes an introduction to a fictional story. Please keep the topic in line with something that your principal, pastor, and the superintendent of schools would be proud to read.
Class two reads the introductory paragraph and writes the next paragraph to extend the story.
Class three reads the first two paragraphs and continues the plot and characters.
Class four reads the first three paragraphs and writes the concluding paragraph. The fourth class creates a title for the story.
The students will make a collaborative drawing or drawings to illustrate their paragraph.
Registration is open through December 7, 2018. Story writing can begin any time after Christmas break. It would be helpful to try to complete each section within about two weeks. I hope to put all the stories in an electronic book before the end of the school year.
Once there are four classes registered in a similar grade level, I will share contact information with the group.
Each teacher is required to make contact with the next teacher in the group to let them know when a class has finished and the next group should begin.
Collaboration will be via a Google Doc. If your school does not have access to Google Docs, you will be provided with a guest account.
Classes can creatively extend the project by recording narrations and creating an audiobook, a video, or meeting each other via a Skype call.
