Story Starter Machine

Please use this story starter machine to write me an interesting short story. You may spin the wheel a few times to see what kinds of options you might have.

Please do your rough copy in your journal, and your good copy on loose leaf.

Number 11 is missing because it is the superword for the week. No one figured it out in class today, so I have assigned it for homework. I will fill it in tomorrow when someone gets it.

Please go to my teacher links and read a pro-tv article in our webquest. We will be working on our persuasive essays for the rest of the week.

This is a link to the leapfrog challenge we tried today. Enjoy!
