Hint Fiction Project & The 500 Word Story

  • 1. Get together in the following groups: Group Z: Izzy, Saisha, Mitchell, Aleah     Group Y: Tyshay, Tyshon, Austin, Jaymee, Yasmine; Group X: Jacob, Radezia, Grace, Karla, Justice.
  • Once in your groups, read your work together. Offer feedback to one another. Then together as a group, select the best 4 hint fiction pieces from each author.
  • 2. Using the program PAGES, please complete the following assignment:
  • From the TEMPLATES menu, choose CARDS and INVITATIONS under PAGE LAYOUT.
  • Choose one of the POSTCARD options (Only!). Each author may choose his/her own template option.
  • Each story you wrote will have a picture or graphic on the front side (one for each story) that appropriately depicts or goes with the theme or tone of your story. (No text is needed on the front of the card, so you can delete the text box. Click on it, then delete.) Find IMAGES from GOOGLE IMAGES or your own photography.
  • On the BACK of the card (where the address information would normally go) please type your 25 word or less hint fiction story on the back. Be sure to include your title AND your name on each one. You do NOT need to include your address. Remove this text. You may change the FONT to something you like that is legible and appropriate for your design, but you should not have more than one card per story. Make sure each story is aligned with the right picture.
  • When you have typed up all four stories on the template, check your grammar and spelling. Make sure there are no errors, then print out your work and hand in. DO NOT FOLD your paper.
For help, see my mock-up.

Take a break between 3-4 period. Check out these websites!
HOMEWORK: Read at least 2 500 word stories.
