Writing Project

Today through Friday, please use the time in the library lab to do the following:

1. Set up a personal literary magazine.

• Select Microsoft WORD from the program/start menu.
• Choose a blank document (portrait or landscape)
• Create a title for your book. Your title should include your name and perhaps a graphic along with the title. 
• On page two, three, etc. type up any of your favorite poems, stories or writing you have completed so far in class. You may also write new short stories and poems (see prompts below to give you a start for a story). 
• Use your time in the lab to write as much as you can in the next few days. Be prepared to save and print your work at the end of Friday, Oct. 7.

2. Story starters:

• What she didn't know was that...
• "Get that thing away from me!" I yelled.
•  "That will show them," I thought as I hammered the last nail into place.\
  
  Choose one of the pictures below and use it to begin a story.
