This week seventh grade students are drafting their collaborative stories. Students worked in groups of four to plan and develop the plot, characters, settings, conflicts, etc. Then each student was responsible for writing their own chapter of the story. In order for the story to come together in a smooth and cohesive manner, students have to continually check in with their group members to make adjustments to the story as a whole as each student finishes their individual part. Students will submit the first draft on Tuesday, March 15th, and the final draft on Friday, March 18th.
This unit was inspired by the novel Click. Ten authors worked collaboratively to create a novel with each author contributing one chapter. The novel Click is used as an interactive read aloud book during this unit.
