Road Trip to the Library!

=**__ Thursday- __**=
 * Today I want you to settle in and read anything about your topic and pursue parts of the story you find interesting.
 * I know it might sound silly, but just explore. Your significant object might turn up where you least expect it! Obviously start by searching for your “main topic,” but also dive into individuals that are involved in it, places, laws, court cases, anything and everything. The idea is that tomorrow everyone in the group will bring a common set of knowledge about your topic to the group, but also everyone will bring their own unique perspective. DO NOT SIT NEXT TO ANYONE IN YOUR GROUP.
 * As you explore, write down the name of the websites you spend any quality time on and some of the key/interesting/useful/important information/details/factoids from the website…and write down any potential significant objects that you think would be perfect for a story on your topic.
 * If you think you would like your group to visit your website for more information on Thursday, write down the url or if it is too long use [] to shorten it.
 * Bring a list of five potential “significant objects, the notes on your section, and your notes from today to class on Thursday.
 * 1) Sit with your group
 * 2) With each group starting at the same time, your group will start listing as many story ideas as possible. Any idea, no matter how crazy should be listed...ok...maybe the really crazy ones should be left in your head.
 * 3) When time is up, start crossing off the story ideas that you would least likely use, one at a time, until you have three left.
 * 4) Your group should now play with the three ideas that you have left. Float around various ideas, significant objects, characters, places, and...the emotion that each story will hit and how likely your audience would be to connect with the story.
 * 5) Narrow your choice to one story.
 * 6) Narrow your choice to one significant object.
 * 7) Start writing your story for your significant object. The story must connect!! It should have a connection that will suck the reader into the object's story.
 * 8) At the end of your story the reader must be able to know about the historical event/person assigned to you.
 * 9) At the end of your story the reader must know why your historical event/person was significant.
 * 10) At the end of your story the reader must know why your object is significant.
 * 11) At the end of your story your reader should feel compelled to bid on your item.

=__**Friday-**__= Finish writing the story, and design your post. What other sources of information can you put into your post? Start off with the common craft video? Include other images or videos?

=__**Monday-**__=

The deal is this. You need to get your story done today, know exactly what your significant object is, and know exactly what you will be saying tomorrow for rehearsal. Anyone who feels as though it is a free period will be out of their group. I promise. Each period should receive glowing reviews from the sub, with no "special" names left behind for me to remove from groups :) If your group finished early start working on the blog posts due this week.

Monday in the library: 1. Go here and leave the link to your personal significant object post. 2. Finish your story 3. Decide who is bringing in the significant object 4. Place story on blog with image. Sign into the blog here: [] 5. If for some reason seven people can't all be logged on at once, make sure you at least have a typed copy of the story ready on Tuesday. 6. Your post should have three parts: · At the beginning of your story have some kind of catchy intro...a really good connection would be perfect. What kind of situation has your audience been in that would be similar to your story? · Your story, where you unveil your object at the end. · Finish with what makes your object the most "significant" out of all the objects being auctioned--why should audience bid on yours versus someone else's object. 7. Leave some spaces and at the bottom of your post please copy and paste, or type the following:

// Note: // //The significance of this object has been invented by the author; this project has been inspired by// // SignificantObjects.com // //.// //Winning bidder also receives a copy of the// //story about this object.// //Opening price represents our best guess as to the shipping cost of the object prior to its invented significance. Proceeds from this auction go to// // Clinique Monique. All bidding closes on January 12 at 9:00pmEST. For other rules please click here. Winning bidders will be notified by email and can send their donation to:// //Moran// //Middle School// //141 Hope Hill Rd// //Wallingford, Ct 06492// //Attn: Significant Objects// //Please make checks payable to "Women's Trust, Inc."//

When you are done ask yourself these questions: // At the end of your story will the audience be able to tell someone about the historical event/person assigned to you? // // At the end of your story will the audience know why your historical event/person was significant? // // At the end of your story will the audience know why your object is significant? // // At the end of your story will the audience feel compelled to bid on your item? //
