Wow... I can't believe we have gotten this far with our unit, and this far into our school year already! Over all, I have learned that there are many different components to a short story like character and setting. Within those components there are also sub topics that I never knew about. Having Prezis on the board and class discussion have been helpful to learn these components as well. Even though my block gets out of hand a little, I was able to look at the board and get notes while people where talking so that was helpful.
My favorite was the one about Harrison. It was crazy and weird and very enjoyable to read. As I kept on reading more and more stories, I was able to understand the stories more and more as well! Through out my learning experience with short stories, I feel like I have learned how to write my own. I'm very excited to write my own and make it as unique as the others!
