Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to plan out your entire book and write the first chapter. You can write whatever kind of book you want, but it’s not quite as easy as it sounds. Before you get to the writing part, there’s a lot you have to do. In order to complete this WebQuest, you will:

• Fill out one of the following worksheets below for each character in your story.  
  • Character Worksheet
  •  Each of your main characters must have a sheet. Very minor characters or characters who are merely mentioned, but do not appear in the story, do not need to have a worksheet. However, completing the worksheet for those types of characters can make your story much richer and more consistent.
•   Diagram your plot.  
  • You can do this in a number of ways, but it does need to be detailed enough to include every important event and some information about the characters’ feelings and the tone of the scenes.
•  Write the first chapter in your book. 
  • This chapter should be at least 10 pages long, double spaced, in 12 pt. font.
    
  • If your first chapter is complete before you reach the 10th page, start on the second and work until you have reached the page limit.
