Objective:  I can develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on addressing plot development (W11-12.5).
Agenda:

• Entry Task: Get a Chromebook and log in to Google Classroom then review the travel story you read yesterday.  What characteristics did you like best about it? What didn’t you like? What would you do differently in telling your own travel story?
  
• Popcorn Read “5 Powerful Tips to Write Travel Stories Only You Can Tell”
  
  • Share out how each was shown throughout the travel stories you read
    
• Review the definitions of plot from your literary terms list--exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution and how they connect to the stories you read as shown in the draft handout for today
  
• Complete your draft of a travel story--it can be a true story or fictional!
  
  • If there’s a place you would like to travel but never have, this is also an opportunity to do a little research and explore where you would go then pretend as if you have.
    
• Exit Task:  Drag and drop an image of your travel destination in the last box on the handout and “Turn In” to Google Classroom.
