This week we finished our Bookflix projects and began our short story project.  We have started by learning about the importance of creating strong characters in order to enhance our storytelling.  We listened to a youtube video which offered suggestions on how to create interesting characters.  Next week we will develop characters of our own using these tips.  We will also read a short story that will serve as an example of how a strong character can influence a story.
