Project Introduction:We were given the task to write a a Sci Fi story that would make a logical keep. So this mean that we had to take something in the science communty and push it over the edge but, it still had to make since. For example in my story I used Interstellar Travel. Interstellar Travel is when you are traveling at the speed of light and you go to many planets. We had free range when it came to writing our stories. Working on this project it was a combination of our humanities class and biology. | Caption: This is an image of Kepler 438b which is a planet that is very similar to Earth and I write about it in my Sci Fi Short Story called Once in a lifetime. |
Project Outline:
The Big Idea graphic organizer is where we also were able to write out our ideas and organize them. This was away for us to start our skelotn to our Sci Fi story.
The World-building graphic organizer is just what it away to build your world in your story. Lots of writers use smoking of world building outline to help them create out your story. Filling out this organizer helped me really narrow down what I want and what I need to talk about or explain in my story.
Research doc this was a blank document that we had to create so we could have a place to save all of our links. Also it was a place were if we were looking up information for our story we would have place that would be our brain dump.

I am very proud of my final writing piece. I worked very hard on it and I think that I was able to tell a story that involves real science but, push it to make my story Sci Fi. I had a lot of challenges when writing my story but, by getting help from other I was able to create a pretty good story.
Reflection:
This Sci Fi Short Story project was different from what we normally have to write for class. What I originally wanted to write about when I started the project was four girls find a toxic cave but, they did not know it was a toxic cave and they went swimming in it. And since they were in the toxic water for such a long period of time they became sick but instead of becoming super sick they gain superpowers and three out of the four friends have super powers. The fourth one becomes sick and she almost dies and the other girls have to give up all of there powers to save that one friends life. Now my story is about one girl who has the chance to go up into space on a once in a life time mission until something goes really wrong. So I would have to say that my story from the very start has changed over time. The most fun about writing my story was just being able to have full creative freedom to write my story. I have always been the type of person to love writing prompts that give you free range. This would have to be the most fun I have had when it came to writing my piece besides writing my "The Book of Us". piece. The toughest part of writing the Sci Fi story was trying to add the science in right. Trying to find a way to make sure that when I do add the science in it would make since and the reader would know what was going on. My writing has changed from the first draft to the final draft I would have to say. I think that in my first draft I was having a hard time find they story I did not want to tell I wanted to show which hopeful I was able to do in my final draft. What I did on this project and what I plan to do in mu future writing pieces is to always start out with a skeleton because it helps me have a start and end point. All in all I really enjoyed working on this project.

Thoughts after internship 4 weeks later:
What did you do that you want to remember to do next time you write?
I felt really good about my writing, I like how the story turned out but and there are a lot of thing that I would remember to do next time you write. One being to do a lot of research on what I want to write about. So while I was writing my story I went through a lot a phases on what I wanted to write and I hoped around on different ideas to write my story on. I knew that I wanted to write about space and I wanted to write about something that was happing today. So I know that by research a topic before you read about it and making sure that you have enough info information on what I am writing about so I can be able to write and outstanding piece.
What do you wish you'd done differently?
Something that I wish that I would have done differently is by taking more time writing my story. I know that I kind of rushed when writing my story and I if I had spent more time editing and making my story better and a little bit strong. Also If I had a little more time I could have maybe mad my story 10 - 9 pages instead of 15. So I would have to say that if I took more time trying to write my piece it I think that I would have made it better and stronger in certain sections of the story.
