Draft 3: Surpise Ending

So far this marking period you have written:
  • one short story draft using the exercises provided to you on the blog (see October's posts for details, if you have forgotten).
  • a second draft of that same short story, editing and revising based on feedback from Mr. Bodensteiner.
  • and finally, a third draft that asks you to get rid of your original ending and insert a "surprise" ending or a different "surprise" ending (if you already had one). 
These 3 drafts will ultimately go into your writing portfolio.

Work on the third draft today in the lab as stated in Mr. Bodensteiner's agenda on his class blog.
