2013 HALLOWEEN STORIES
|
One week before Halloween 2013, students in Mr. Pack's class were given the task of writing an original Halloween short story. Most students in the class participated and finished a final product. Above is the Presentation students viewed prior to beginning work on the assignment. Students worked for approximately five school days to complete their stories, including pre-writing, first draft and editing activities. What lies below is a final "published" form of this year's entries, as well as something I added to the collection.
"Welcome to the Family"

"The Halloween Contest" By Timothy M., 5th Grade

"Nightmare Land"

"Foot in the Mouth" By Selwyn W.

This is a short story that I wrote, getting the writing itch while working with students on this project. On Halloween, I read all of the stories out loud to the class, and ended the read-aloud session with this story. This is my take on what would be a truly frightening experience for me - one that would be difficult to disconnect from. I did not spend too much time proofreading it; there are a few minor typos. Enjoy!
