    A4 I’m in the middle camp with students...have a theme, figure out the midpoint and ending. Have a map, but it’s cool to detour. #TEDEdChat

    I intro’d narrative writing with themes from Wally, StarWars, etc., because the arrangements all tend to mirror “hero’s journey.” #TedEdChat

    I have a binder full of all types & all "levels?" So they can see what it looks like from various unique students #TEDEdChat

    Also, I show them a bunch of google examples? Like random ones I find. Also, the book Syllabus by Lynda Berry is genius. #TEDEdChat

    I also have them annotate in images/doodles and ... notes / questions? That helps them foster a mindmapping idea, I think. #TEDEdChat

    Also fun to have students write stories that celebrate the anti-hero too. #TEDEdChat

    A4 I’ll recommend Storymatic again - trillions of ideas. No such thing as writer’s block…it’s all confidence, really. #TEDEdChat

    The story answers a critical question ... like why haven't we traveled to Mars?. #TEDEdChat
  • applePulp Jul 25 @ 6:57 PM EDT
    Yes indeed, Will. And by the way, one can typically discern an anti-hero interlude in each theme. #TedEdChat
