Story Structure Project
1. You may choose to do this project individually or with a partner.
2. You will copy down the story structure chart on a blank sheet of paper with the headings of characters, setting, and plot.
3. Using the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's StoryMaker http://www.carnegielibrary.org/kids/storymaker/embed.cfm , you will choose your characters, setting, and plot. Remember to create a beginning, middle, and end. The middle should be about the problem of the story, and the ending should be about the solution. Fill this into your chart on paper to make sure that you are including every detail of a story structure map.
4. Be creative and add specific details to make your story more interesting. Think about what kind of personality and struggles that your characters will have. Use http://www.thesaurus.com to help transform "boring" words into *sparkle* words.
5. When you are finished, write down your special code on a sheet of paper so that you don't forget it. Then. type it into the form below so that Ms. Yates can share this code with other classmates. They will be able to use your story in the noun & story structure scavenger hunt next week.
I can't wait to see what you come up with!
