IMPORTANT:  To turn in your scary story, have it ready to be graded, and turn in your pink packet with the plot map, rough draft, and grading sheet. 
  • Please write your name and period on your grading sheet. 
  • Don't forget to include in your story heading for each part of the plot:  exposition, rising action, climax, falling action/resolution.

  • Also, don't forget your three instances of figurative language underlined or highlighted. 
If you come in early, look through the lists of books for historical fiction book groups.  Do not write on those lists.
