2 Hour Story Project

I had so much fun participating in the 49hr Film Project (www.48hrfilm.org) that I now have my students do a 2-Hr Story Project as a writing assignment.  I give them a genre, line of dialogue, character, and prop that must be included in their story. Their piece may take any creative form; short story, poem, song lyrics, short play.  Anything they can think of, really.

So far, they are freaking out. Most of them anyway. Even though the required elements can be featured as prominently or as little as the author chooses. But the element must be there. 

I expect quite a variety of entries!
