Creating an Event Sequence: Use sticky notes

Today you will choose at least one idea and create an event sequence.  There are many ways to do this, here is the last strategy we will practice:  

• Use sticky notes.  List the key events of your narrative on sticky notes.  Play around with the order until you have it just right.  
• You can use technology to do this too :0)  I like popplet.  Go to www.popplet.com and click on sign up.  Use your google account login and password to create an account. Click on the ? to learn how to use popplet like sticky notes. You can change color of notes and text, and change font, and even add pictures.  You are able to collaborate on popplet too!  I love that.  See an example at the bottom of the page.

Here is my idea list from yesterday.  I am going to practice the strategies above using one idea.
