Project Proposal & Calendar

End of Term 2

Name: Sal Thompson

Period:  K

Project Proposal

Answer any three of the following questions.

• 3) What types of science fiction have you prefered so far, and why?

                So far, I enjoyed transformation stories that contain either transformations or alien/alien worlds. The one type that I dislike is time travel because there are too many loose ends not answered, and many of the paradoxes confuse me.

• 4) What medium might you work within?

The medium that I plan to work within is creating a short story. Along with the short story I plan to map out my story on the pearltrees app.

• 5) What is your theme - your message - that you want your reader to take away? Why this theme?

                The theme or message of my short story is that when faced with mysterious and unexplainable circumstances, people will jump to conclusions without gathering facts. I chose this theme because many of the characters in this story jump to conclusions about who the killer is without actually gathering clues.

Project Calendar

Long-term projects need an outline - a blueprint - to. Use the calendar below to map out deadlines, goals, and stages of your creating a science fiction text. If you prefer, you can do a linear syllabus. Use a different color to indicate your annotations. Indicate each step of the process you outlined above.

When you are done both of these, please re-name the document ‘First Last : End of Term 2 - Project Proposal & Calendar’
