12 Write a script using the writing process Remember: this is a collaborative writing task. All members have to agree on what is written. One member of the group is the secretary and is writing the text on the computer or on paper if a computer is not available. Your task is to write the complete adapted story based on your storyboard. This way, your audience can have a written version of your story. 1. Writing the draft phase In group, write your draft of the story. Follow the plot diagram and the storyboard to write your text. Here are the steps to help you write your story: 1 Review your plot diagram. 2 Review your storyboard. 3 Make adjustments if necessary. 4 With respect to your plan, write the story with your group The reporter types the text on the computer. 5 The layout and the format are not very important for this part of the project. The story itself is what is needed. Your focus for creativity should be on the photostory. However, if you have the time, you are encouraged to add graphic elements to your written story. 6 Save your document as: TEAM1_photostory_textdraft.doc 2. Revising phase When the first draft is completed, your story will be peer-reviewed. For the peer-review, use the Word Tracking Function of Word as seen previously in class. Fill in the following peer-review grid. i. Exchange your booklet with the other preselected team so they can fill in the grid. ii. Provide the peer-reviewing team with your electronic version of your story. iii. Write comments and suggestions to help the team modify items or to congratulate your classmates for their good work.
