Claudine, Jimmy, Kevin Stepping stones, the rocky adventure of a school kid! School life can be tough! To help you reflect on your school experience **you will create a three chapter story.** The first chapter will be the memories of a student and his thoughts on how school would be like. Your main character remembers how he felt before entering high school, his anticipations and fears. In the second chapter, the main character is now in high school and he shares his experience on how he lives the high school life. He exposes various aspects of the school and friends he has. Then the last chapter is about how he sees his future after high school. What has high school taught him and how he will use it for his post-secondary education. What does he envision for himself?

__Using Wordle could help our students do a 360 writing process starting with a brainstorm, going in the writing process and then input the text in Wordle to compare their notes in the brainstorm phase to see if the big words in Wordle are words used in the brainstorm phase. If the main ideas are found in large font then the students can validate their writing process and see if they followed their outline in the planning phase.__
