Craft a story: In the spirit of storytelling and oral history, students are guided through writing a story based on a site, habitat or natural phenomenon in their area. Students will identify the setting, family or community values they want to include, as well as information about the natural world that they want to pass onto the next generation. Before starting their first draft, students will develop their characters and their story arc.
