Mr.+T

One day I was walking home from my friend Wyatts house and this thing crash landed, it looked just like an alien sauser. I could barely see because it was all smokey. I walked up to it, all of a sudin a door opened. Something or someone came out. I couldent see what it was and then some weird body shaped things started walking out.

There was about ten, they had big heads, big red eyes, long green fingers and big snotty noses. They were gross! They were holding weird guns. these aleins shot out laser beams from their guns. they started looking they almost saw me but I ducked it was close I got lucky I looked up again they were looking at their ufo to see what was wrong with their ufo they went back into the ufo so I came out from were i was hiding it was to late they saw me.

Kirsten HA 1. Think of plot—is it original? (If an adaptation, is it creative or interesting to you?)

2. Think about problems that the characters face. Are there complications that add enough suspense, tension, or interest? Is there a climax that satisfies you? Is the resolution satisfying? What could be added or changed?

3. Think of characterization—are the characters life-like? Are characters likable and enjoyable? Do we get a good sense of character from many of these: description, dialogue, narrator's opinion, discussion from other characters, the character’s own actions?

4. Think of imagery and details. Do they help you //see // and //hear // and //experience // the story?

5. What areas of the story need the most improvement?

Saint Michael School
1. On the level of story-telling: if you were the King (or the aliens), would you allow this story-teller to live another day? If no,why not?

2. Be specific, try not to merely write, " this was good", instead explain what was good about it and why.

3. Nominate "Hall of Fame" stories.
