8th Grade--5/8

Today we continued to work on our science fiction story starts. We began by discussing how the fears from yesterday might be worked into our stories. After students spent a period of time writing, they shared  sentences from their stories. After this, students were asked to list the science fiction elements already present in their stories. After sharing these, students were to come up with at least three research questions that would help to enhance their writing.
