2. With your
group:
Choose a
scene from the movie (or develop your own scene).
Choose a theme
of
love, betrayal or
redemption.
Open an
account at Geocities.
Create a
homepage (index) and begin your story introducing the
setting and characters you will use. (There must be one
character for each member of your group.)
Each
group member will continue their characters version of the
story (plus any subplot that does not contradict the main
plot). This will be on a separate page that is linked to the
homepage.
Create
a conclusion as a group. Make sure that all the separate
stories combine at the end. Also, if you wish, you may have
two or more characters intersect in the middle and then veer
off again.
Reminder:
Your group story must hold the viewer's attention through
suspense. Build in an exciting conflict, climax, dialogue,
sensory details and action words. Tell your characters story
in the 1st person but you might want to use the 3rd person
for your group sections of the story.
