7th Grade--10/12

Today we learned the next WordMasters word (dross), and we practiced using it in sentences together. Next we moved on to our horror fiction stories. We began today by discussing plot lines and rising action. When working on a horror story, this rising action should serve to build the tension and should inevitably connect the normal beginning of the story to the bizarre or abnormal climax. We practiced this process as a class a couple of times, and then students were given time to work on their own. We ended class by sharing sentences from our writing.
