Hello Advanced 1,

Here is the video we did in class.

The egg one is another example.

Remember to please use all the story criteria we talked about in your story (adverbs etc)

The completed group story is for the 19th of November. Each person should have a copy
of the story to keep for themselves and I am given one story copy per group.

Have fun!

Remember if you want to work in groups check out Google Docs, wikispaces or a Facebook group.
