Suspense Short Story Project; Dandelion Wine Review & Test

Task #1: On your blog, take the first 5-10 minutes of the period to review the book Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. Discuss what you liked and didn't like about the book. Discuss what you learned about writing from reading this book? What impression did the author make on you as a writer, if any? If not, why not?

Task #2: After reviewing the book, please continue writing your suspense short story. Add at least 1 scene to the story and continue your story & plot. Separate your "first" draft with your second "scene"--by using white space.

At the end of period 3, we will be returning Dandelion Wine and picking up Ray Bradbury's novel/short story collection The Martian Chronicles.

Period 4:

There will be a test on Dandelion Wine. After completing the test, you may begin reading The Martian Chronicles or use the rest of the time writing in your journal.

Please bring your Martian Chronicle books back with you to our next class.

HOMEWORK: None.
