 * Procedure: ‍‍ **
 * 1) Discuss essential question with class.
 * 2) Read aloud **The Tailypo, by** ** [|Joanna C. Galdone] ** and **Scary Stories and Songs, by** ** [|Diane Goode] .**
 * 3) Tell the class that they too will compose a mystery or spooky story.
 * 4) Go through the writing processes steps with the students (Brainstorm/prewrite, rough draft, revise, edit, final copy).
 * 5) Ask what the first step of the process is and have them complete the brainstorming/prewriting. The students should be thinking about a spooky or a mystery (ghost, pumpkin, bat, witch, haunted house, monsters, etc.) and creating a web of ideas.
 * 1) Have the students conduct a timed writing (5 minutes) to write as fast as they can, all the ideas in their head that they will write about.
 * 2) Give the students 5 minutes to share with their 12 & 6 o’clock partners  . The students should jointly choose 1 spooky/mystery story to compose together with either o-clock partner.
 * 3) When students have completed the writing and sharing, hand them the graphic organizer to complete for their spooky/mystery story.
 * 4) Give the students time to complete this before introducing the prewriting(5-10 min).
 * 5) Give partnered students a blank piece of paper to create a beginning/middle/ending foldable. Explain the purpose of the foldable (fold paper vertically once and horizontally into 3 sections. The students should write down details for the beginning/middle/ending of their story.
 * 6) Students will have a working period today. Circulate around the room and help them work together and generate ideas. Jot down any anecdotal notes about students effort and any conflicts.
 * 1) After completing the foldable, introduce GoogleDocs and VoiceThread to the students.
 * 2) <range type="comment" id="859278">‍‍<range type="comment" id="30457">The students will compose their stories, and <range type="comment" id="285554">‍‍‍‍‍have the story revised and edited on GoogleDocs by other students ‍‍‍‍‍. Model how the partners will jointly compose the story, and have it revised and edited on <range type="comment" id="543996">‍GoogleDocs ‍. Display GoogleDocs on the 3M system. Walk the students through the rough draft, revision, and editing steps of the writing process.  ‍‍
 * 1) When students have finished the rough draft, revision, and editing steps they are ready for the publishing step of the writing process. <range type="comment" id="498014">‍‍‍‍‍ <span style="background-color: #ffffff ! important; display: none;"><span class="id_2eef3c6db6db07ba9acec72857ba0f6c diigoIcon type_9">1  //<range type="comment" id="1269">‍Model how they will do this on VoiceThread by viewing it on the 3M system// ‍//‍‍‍‍ ‍.//
 * 2) Show the students how to upload imagines through VoiceThread, and then speak the written words of the story using a microphone.
 * 3) <range type="comment" id="423792">‍‍Provide students with time to use VoiceThread to record their published spooky story ‍‍. ‍
 * 1) <range type="comment" id="769009">Allow partners to finish up their finalized spooky story.
