10.08.2008 - Class Writing Challenge

As you can tell by the derth of challeger updates, I no longer have time for anything that isn't school related. But I'm starting a series of writing challenges at school. So long as it doesn't take too much time, I'll post them here as well. Here is the first challenge in the school series:

We’ve been talking about Transitions. It is important to be able to sense a thing’s path. To make predictions. You need to be able to look at your argument (or story) and know how to get it where you need it to be. Your challenge is to take the story start below, and guide it, with your own writing, to the ending provided. Good luck!

7.18.2008 - Choose Your Own Adventure, take two

This week (and onward) on Challenger 3, we are writing a Choose Your Own Adventure story. My students aught to recognize this one, as it is an activity I attempted with them. It went fairly well, but ran out of steam. Lets see if we can finish it this time. As always, all are welcome to try their hand at it. Just check out the guidelines and mail your entry to an appropriate address.
