Mrs. Atwood's 8th grade students worked so hard on their Scary Story One Pagers last week! They each chose 1 story from the multiple their class read this month and they created a one pager for it. They were required to draw images, ask DOK level 3 and 4 questions with answers, find significant quotes, and either draw an illustrated timeline or find figurative language. Great job!
