Welcome to the House of Newton wikispace. This will act as a quickwrite journal for the studetns throughout the year. Each Thursday a class will be given three of the five Ws and about five minutes to write a story.

The purpose of this exercise is to have the students practice developing ideas for stories and writing first drafts quickly. Not all steps in the writing process are lengthy. Drafting in itself is just getting the thought out of your head and down on paper.

So what you will find here will not be polished nor will it have been revised. Ideas may be taken from these pages at a later date, but what resides here will be the result of spur of the moment inspiration. Enjoy!
