At lunchtime everyone found out differently. There was Priscilla seated at her usual table with Melvin and not a single scratch on her. But no one had seen Monk all day. There weren't anymore black plastic wind breakers either. They didn't know it then but they had seen the last of the Kobras.
Students read a short story and then reflect on it for a few minutes.
Each student jots down at least three different endings for the story, writing a line or two for each ending. Student-writers may change the original story in any manner they wish. This first draft is published for their classmates, with at least one student acting as a recorder. Individual students may also write their own drafts. Groups may volunteer to read their drafts aloud.
