The winning short story is...
The Call
The Call
Vanson Hamel, a grade 9 student, chose The Call to present to her group members. Once her story was chosen in her group, they then had to recreate the short story in video format, present the story to the rest of their peers and "fight" for it to win the best in class! They must have done a fantastic job because Vanson's short story won (and may I add it won by a landslide). Way to go, guys!
Now it's my job to do some work. I had to find similar short stories to have the class read and analyze. It was no easy task. When I first heard Vanson's group describe their story, I was reminded of those ominous and mysterious urban legend stories - you know, the kind you hear around the campfire and give you nightmares for weeks. That kind.

I found some frightening short stories to share and I cannot wait to delve deeper into our short story unit. Their final project will consist of the students creating their own urban legend, getting into groups and choosing the best one to recreate in video format. Exciting stuff is happening in the 9B class. And people say English is boring.....
