Bradbury Story Project, Story #2

After the test, please complete your first story if you didn't complete it last class.

For those of you who have completed your first story draft, please do the following SECOND related story:

--Choose a character, setting, object, event, or theme from your first story (it should not be the protagonist of your first story) and write ANOTHER story connected in some way to the first.

For example: If my protagonist in the first story meets a minor character, my second story might make this minor character a major character in the second story.

or--If my setting occurs in the 1950's in an American city like Chicago, my second setting might be set in 2050 in the same city. I have changed the setting for the second story.

or--if I wrote about a young couple falling in love, I might write about their lives when they are in their 80's. I might also link the story thematically by writing about another couple falling in love in a different circumstance, etc.

HOMEWORK: By next class your FIRST story should be a completed draft. If you have not yet finished your first draft of your first story, please complete it for homework.
