## The portfolio assignment

During the coming lessons, you and your group will work on ‘making the skeleton’ for your short story. This means you will pick a narrative perspective, a type of ending, and characters. Then you will pick a scary setting, decide on some terrifying elements, and use all these building blocks to make the structure ('skeleton') of your own short story. Basically, you're writing the summary of your own scary, short story.

Your teacher will give feedback on the skeleton of your scary, short story. You will use this feedback to improve your work. Then, you are going to make a video in which you perform your scary, short story. We will watch all videos in class somewhere in November, so make sure you make a good one.

The assignment

You will work in groups of 3 or 4.
The portfolio assignment consists of two things, with two different deadlines:

1. The skeleton of your story. This means you don't have to hand in a full written story, because you will be performing it (part 2). Hand in the skeleton as a Word or PDF document through Magister before your performance in class. Each group member has to hand this in individually (for logistical purposes), but it must be the same document as your group members.
   The skeleton must contain the following information about your story:
   - structure
   - narrative perspective
   - type of ending
   - character roles
   - setting
   - foreshadowing* (only vwo)
   - list of scary elements and their meaning/purpose
   - three nouns plus at least 2 adjectives describing these nouns.

1. The performance. Your video can be 5 minutes max. All group members need to speak at least 2 sentences. Hand in your video thorugh Magister on the 11th of November at the latest. The videos will be watched in class somewhere in November (belated Halloween viewing party). This is your chance to frighten your teacher and classmates with your scary tale. Use costumes, props and special effects to make your performance even better and to bring your scary elements to life.

Deadline for the skeleton (Word or PDF): Mon day September 29th, 2024 21:00 hr.
Deadline for the video: (upload the video or a link to the video): Mon day November 10th, 2024, 21:00 hr. <- Watch out, this is in Period 2. So, this will be called PF2 on Magister.
