3rd Period-English 7 Assignments

Finish any part of the "Scene Boot Camp" activity that you did not finish in class.

After today's lesson, please write LONG about TWO more story ideas for your realistic fiction narrative.  What stories do you wish existed in the world?

Example of Writing LONG about a story idea:
A thirteen year old girl and her best friend are on a camping trip with their families.  The parents and younger kids head out for a half-day hike, and the older girls decide to stay behind at camp to read and play games.  Now it's three o'clock and the hikers aren't back yet.  They should have been back by lunchtime.  The girls are starting to get worried, and there's no cell coverage at the campground.  They decide to head to the trail to look for their family.

Read the text or listen to the audio. You decide! Answer each question in the Edpuzzle. On the open ended questions, please write in complete sentences using details. Check your work for proper capitalization and punctuation.
