Instructions
 *You will need a Wikispaces Account and a VoiceThread Account.*

   During this time I will put the classes into groups of 4-5. Classes will be grouped by grade levels (ex. K-1, 1-2, 2-3, etc). Check back on October 16 to find out which group you are in and when you will need to write. ***I may need to make changes to the groups prior to October 16, so the groups will not be final until Sunday, October 16.***
 * RegistrationOpen: September 10-October 1 **
 * Classes will be grouped by October 20 **

1st Part: October 29  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">2nd Part: Due November 5 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">3rd Part: Due November 12 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">4th Part: Due November 19 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">5th Part: Due December 3 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 20.8px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">Shared Writing Experience (typed onto your group's page on the Wiki):

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> The first class brainstorms and writes the intro paragraph(s). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> Then the next class reads the paragraph(s), brainstorms and decides how they want to continue the story. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> This will continue until the last class on the list writes the ending and gives the story a title. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> Classes can edit their section of the story on the Wiki.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">Optional: If you are one of the first few classes, you could have your individual students continue the story on their own, so they can compare their stories to the finished products.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> Your students will need to create 3 colored pictures (on paper and take a photo or use a computer program, ex. Kidpix) to illustrate events in the section that your class wrote. The three pictures will need to be sent to your Teacher Leader as .jpg and they will put them into a VoiceThread. When you name the pictures, please include the story name, your section and the order (ex. story12section3picture1). That way the Teacher Leader can place them correctly into the VoiceThread.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 25.6px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> The VoiceThreads will be put together. Be sure your pictures are done and have been sent to the Teacher Leader before this time.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 160%;">VoiceThread Set-Up: December 3-10 **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 25.6px;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;"> Teacher Leaders will embed VoiceThreads on the Wikispace and your class can record some students reading your section of the story to go with the pictures.
