Before we start with some literature, here's an overview of what this webquest looks like. We'll discuss each step briefly and you can find out what the goals for this webquest are.
Note: you are going to do some assignments. Make sure your answers are in English, and use full sentences.
Step 1: Five Elements
Get to know the five different elements that are needed to create a good story.
Step 2: Plot
You will have to use the elements we've seen in class to determine (bepalen) the plot structure of a short story.
Step 3: Theme
A story's theme is not always the same as its main idea. What the difference is and how it works will be explained in this step.
Step 4: Characters
Antagonists, protagonists, round and flat characters and much more... These terms probably don't ring a bell just yet, but they will after you have finished this step.
