Blog #5 Week of October 8-12

Blog #5 3/4 ONLY

As we start the unit on the 13 colonies, you need to start thinking about the short story you will be writing. You will take a fictional character and drop them into a colonial setting. Will your story be about a runaway slave? Will your story be about a Native American battle in the colony of Virginia? Will your story have a little witch trials in it or a love story? Will you be writing an action-adventure or a comedy? What types of stories are you drawn to? I want you to use this blog as a pre-pre-pre brainstorm of sorts. Start thinking about your short story and what you may want to write about and list some ideas or start a brainstorm here.

As always, a minimum of 2 sentences please!

Happy Blogging!

  3. My story will be about how a indian boy deals with an attack on his village by the American colonist. Then after a failed attack he will have to wear colonial clothes and act like a teenage colonist to get back to his village. It could be like 15 pages long if I wanted to, but I'm going to keep it short because I'm a cool kid :)-Ethan "Pepe" Le

  4. My story will be about a white rich land owner and his daughter who lives on a giant plantation who grows tobacco with 12 slaves. The slaves try to escape but get captured and are beaten. The rich land owner's daughter is in love with a teenage slave but might never be together because of their color skin.
