Bradbury Project

You should have three stories written. When you are done, you will have a total of 5 or more short stories gathered in this project.

A. One of your stories was a short, short story without character, but focusing on setting.
B. Two (or more) stories are between 500 or more words and deal with traditional characters with a traditional plot and including traditional description of setting, etc.

Today, you will write a bridging story. You may use any of the following ingredients:
1. Set this story in the same setting as your first story.

2. Use a minor character from one of your other stories and write his/her story.

3. Use a similar event or occurrence, item (prop), similar dialogue, or situation that you have used before in one of the other stories, but change it slightly so that it is new.

HOMEWORK: Complete The Martian Chronicles. We will have a test and discussion on this book on Friday.
