DAY TWO:
In day two we were more engaged in listening and sharing our synopsis and what our stories were about.
The 'goal' for the day was to listen to some of the different ideas based on the general themes, 'Mystery and Adventure.' We also gave some suggestions to the person who was reading out their sysnopsis and told them what they needed to improve on. Some of the sixteen students wrote their stories based on, 'haunted schools, a missing crown, missing parents and children, racialsm, fighting and other interesting adventures and mysteries.
Then we talked about the changes in the stories like having a negative part in the beggining and a positive part in the end.Day two ended with us starting to plan our short stories.

THE HAUNTED SCHOOL:
My story is about four brothers and sisters who were new at school but, what they didnt know was that their school is haunted. As they started St Mary's High it was alot different to the other schools they had attended. The teachers were dressed in a funny way. I researched on the net and typed in, "St Mary's High" and they couldnt believe their eyes. They found out that the school they had attended is haunted. One day they had decided to sneak into school at night and find out some interesting facts about who haunted the school and why? two of the students were too scared to go, but eventually went. Most of them weren't even scared! They were all ready to get freaked out! Each one went into a room. As they went in the room, the door slammed and on the back of each door, there was a message saying, "YOU ONLY HAVE FOUR HOURS TO ESCAPE OR SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS!"
