4. Did you give students a list of what had to be included
in their stories?
Yes, the student's story had to be based on actual memories from
the person they had communicated with. They had to have some documentation
of communications they had made with that person; questions they
had asked and answers they had received. They had a sheet that they
had to fill out where they had checked their spelling; they had
checked their grammar; they had looked for proper capitalization,
proper punctuation; where they had looked at one of the things they
had to turn in was a characterization map of their character so
that they had really thought about what their character was going
to be like. They had a story structure map that they filled out
before they wrote their story. So all of those things were turned
in.
