Terrifying Two-Sentence Horror Stories!

Recently, the Monte Vista 21st Century Writing and Digital Media elective classes applied their digital storytelling skills in creating Halloween-themed "Two-Sentence Horror Stories." As with everything else these amazing students create, the level of creativity and imagination on display in their work is truly impressive.

Students wrote a series of stories, then used Google Drawing to digitally illustrate their stories. Combining images and text, these students created some truly terrifying (and some hilarious) tales!
