Library Instructions for Teen Tech Week, 3/11

Today, in the library, in celebration of TEEN TECH WEEK, you have this challenge:

With a partner (preferably from the other English class), you need to write a story. 

In the story, two characters, in some setting that you must specify, have some kind of stressful conflict with technology.  

They talk about  the conflict, figure out a solution, and in the climax, it either works, . . . or it doesn't.  

Anyhow, the crucial part is that the story must be created and submitted through "GoAnimate".

(When you're done, hit "save", put your names for the video's name, put gunston as a tag, make it public, and then hit the blue save button.  Click through all the rubbish about facebook and when it gives you the chance, email it to me at john_stewart@apsva.us)
