Summary
What if we rewrote a story’s climax into a totally different genre?
- Students pick a new genre, then note what they'll need to change, and what can stay the same.
- They'll rewrite just the climax of the original story into the new genre.
- Finally, they write a pitch to convince the publisher Byrd 'n' Mifflin to publish their new version of the story.
