The Boss Story!!!

I didn't get to talk to everyone last Saturday. But I wanted to post some notes from the students (and teachers) that I did get to talk to! It would be great if we could start connecting stories and characters. So feel free to come up with ideas that connect your character to other characters in the story!! We need to elaborate on that quest too!!! Hopefully I will get to talk to more of the students about their characters tomorrow. Looking forward to an awesome class tomorrow!

What will today bring?

I'm curious to see how the Saturday group reacts to what the Wednesday group added to the story. How will the characters interact with each other?

The story continues

New characters are popping up. What role will Don Quixote play? And don't tell anyone else, but I've heard rumors of a man-eating alarm clock!

The First Day of B.O.S.S. Was BOSS!

Our first day was Saturday and--no surprise--plenty of crazy stuff is already happening. Our first story brainstorming session yielded the following details:

-We want our story to be about a quest. Not a world-saving quest per se, but one that requires an epic journey.

-There are narwhals. Someone is stealing their horns...was it really George Lucas like people are saying?

-Dermaids=Dog+mermaid. Living in a sunken doghouse.

-There's a Mad Scientist who works in a Mad Scientist shop. Did he have something to do with the Dermaids?

-Tip Top is a traffic cone who repeatedly leaves the construction sites where he is working. This could have something to do with his adventure-seeking marshmallow companion (name undetermined). TT lives in a swamp.

-How about Grandma Dynamite? What's her story? We know that she has blown up many caves...

-There's a terrible teacher character--this could be trouble!

So there you go. We're all excited to see where this story is headed--if the past is any indication, we're in for a wild ride!
