500 Word Short, Short Fiction

Today we will write a 500 word short story. Before we do: Refer to the note sheet I gave you last class. Then, if you have not yet watched these two short videos, please do so in the next few minutes.
Then, in groups of 3-4, please gather and read the short stories in the packet for the first part of today's class. As you read, please note and discuss how each story unfolds. How does the author make the story more interesting and creative? How might you do this in your own fiction?

During 3rd period, it's work time. Please leave your safe groups and return to your cold, cold desks. There I want you to write a 500 words short story. Your topic can be anything. Consider the stories you just read, and let your mind and imagination play.

HOMEWORK: None, unless you didn't complete your assignment. 500 word short story. Get to it!
