Homework: Story to Be Illustrated in Flash

Your homework over Winter Break is to come up with an original story which you will illustrate in Flash upon your return.  We will be adding interactivity, sound, etc.  If you are having trouble coming up with an original story, think about a story for children which teachers a moral or a lesson.

Begin with a Story Map:

1. The Setting
1. Characters: Tell who is in the story
2. Place: Tell where the story takes place
3. Time: Tell when the story happens
2.  The Problem
1. One or more of the characters has a difficulty.  What is their difficulty or problem.
3. The Goal
1. One or more of the characters has a goal -- something they need or want to happen.  Usually this goes along with the problem.
4. The Events
1. Event 1, 2, 3 -- Things that happen in the story that tell how the characters get from the problem and goal to the end of the story.
5. The Ending
1. What happened at the end of the story?  Tells how the characters achieved their goal and resolved their problem.
