Cuento de terror: Halloween short story project


The rough draft to your Halloween story is due by 6pm on Halloween (Saturday). You must publish it by then. If you are not sure if your story posted go to this blogpage (spanish34classpage) and click on your initials under your class. Whatever comes up on your page from my page is what I will be seeing/grading.

The short story rough draft is worth 50 points. To receive the full 50 points you should fulfill the following requirements:
-There should be no English words in the story. Look every word you don't know up.
-It should be written in the present tense.
-Any verb that you have studied in this class needs to be conjugated correctly. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL OF YOUR NOTES IN FRONT OF YOU AS YOU WRITE.
-You should have a setting in your story: a description of the physical appearance and personality of your characters, a description of the place and the time that the story takes place.
--You should have a beginning, middle and end to your story. An incomplete/unfinished story will result in a big loss of points.
--Usually a story has a problem that is resolved at the end of the story. You can take a story you already know and change it to a Halloween version if you don't feel very creative...
--Make sure to mention how your characters are feeling and what they are thinking as things are happening in the story.
--The short story should be a minimum of 2 paragraphs (4-6 sentences in each paragraph) to a maximum of 4 paragraphs. It is possible to get the full 50 points by just writing two paragraphs as long as you fulfill all of the requirements listed here.
-REMEMBER to write your story on microsoft word and add your accents there. Cut and paste into text box of blogpage from there. This way you don't lose your work if there is a problem publishing your story. If you don't know how to put accents on your work go to "Help" and type "international characters".
--YOU SHOULD HAVE THREE IMAGES THAT ACCOMPANY YOUR PUBLISHED STORY.

Buena suerte!!! Good luck!! Y hay que divertirnos!---and let's have fun with this!! Feliz Dia de las Brujas!!!!
