Hi,

Could you help me out? I am writing a children's story for kids in computer apps and I came up with six different ideas using various methods. Could you make a comment on this link, ___________, and sign in with your facebook, twitter, or posterous account to make the comment? The comment is suppose to cover the following:

    • Tell me which idea you think is best and explain why
    • Please give me one or two creative ideas you have to improve or build upon the storyline...it is suppose to be creative, original, and not predictable

Story Decision

After you have all of the needed comments and after reading the comments from others about your ideas and lots of thinking, decide on a winning story idea and write a comment on your post of your previous ideas under the people's comments you asked to comment on the previous checkpoint.

In the comment, thank everyone for their comments and let them know which story idea you are going to choose at this point.

Take a screenshot of the comments when finished and post to posterous along with the link to the article that shows the comments. Then copy and paste the story idea you want to go with and edit the idea based on your helpful comments or additional ideas you had to make it better.

Author

Complete the Author Sketch (directions) which you will later create in Illustrator. Take a photo of it and post to this Posterous article. Submit the checkpoint link to the spreadsheet. In class I will discuss with you your chosen story concept to have it approved and I will decide which idea in your group is the best to go with for your story. For online class only: Email me your posterous link since you are not in class and I will comment below yours if it is approved.
