HiStory (Vocabulary Story)
20 Points
Estimated time to complete: 2 periods
Your task: Write a fictional short story that includes vocabulary and historical events from a given unit. This story can be set in any time period and be about anything but must be a complete story with setting, characters and conflict.
Your HiStory must include:
o At least 5 paragraphs including a beginning, middle and end.
o At least 10 key terms or ideas from the historical unit (a list may be provided)
o References to these terms that help your read understand what they are and what they mean. (Naming one of your characters “Constantine” does not count as using the key term!)
o All the key elements of a story (characters, setting, conflict, description)
o A general storyline that makes sense (fantasy is fine but the story itself should have a solid plot)
o A rough draft
o A final draft done in ink with proper spelling, grammar and punctuation.
