Observations!

Today, you will be scattering throughout the building to observe quietly and think of story ideas. 

Go quickly to your assigned area and do some observing. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? What seems strange? What do you observe? BE QUIET and just observe. YOU MUST THINK OF OUR NEWS ELEMENTS FROM YESTERDAY. WHERE DO YOU SEE ODDITY, PROXIMITY, PROMINENCE, ETC.????

Based off these observations, pay attention to those "curiosity questions" that come to your mind. Why do students keep gym bags on top of their lockers? Why is Mr. McCabe talking about the bell schedule with Mrs. Combs? Why are students wearing strange clothes?
NOW--turn those questions into story ideas!!

Take your laptop, and as you are observing and thinking, add your story ideas/questions to the correct Padlet page Each GROUP needs a minimum of 10 story ideas, and you must be back in the room by ______ Don't forget to put your name on it and the location you were assigned.

BEHAVE! If you go into a classroom, be quiet and sit in the back. Do not disturb the students or the teacher. If I hear negative comments, you will be in big trouble and grounded to the room for future stories.
