Deaf Education: Writing a Story about Hearing Loss/Deafness
By Sign with me TOD
In this product, the differences and similarities between writing a realistic fiction story and a nonfiction story are shared so students can decide how they want to write their story about hearing loss or deafness. They can write a realistic fiction story if they want to write about events that did not happen, but could have, or they could write a nonfiction story about their own personal experiences. Students will then pick which genre they want to use to write their story about hearing loss or deafness. Students can follow the example provided that goes through the writing process which shows the following: picking a genre, coming up with two possible story ideas their story could be about, deciding on one of the story ideas, adding more details onto their story idea, writing a rough draft, editing, and writing a final draft if required.

By Sign with me TOD
As our students are completing written assignments, using quotation marks in dialogue can be confusing. Students need to remember to use a comma before or after a quote, a capital letter when a statement is made by a character, descriptive tags, and quotation marks. Students can get easily confused when learning how to show dialogue between characters when they are having a conversation. In this product, students review why quotation marks are used in dialogue, complete sentences to show dialogue (adding in commas and quotation marks), make corrections to sentences by adding missing commas or quotation marks, make up sentences to show dialogue based on picture scenarios, make up sentences without picture scenarios that include dialogue, and students also have the opportunity to write a short story that include at least 5 communication exchanges between characters that include capitalization, commas, quotation marks, and descriptive tags.

Directions
Step 1: Roll the Dice
Begin by rolling the dice to determine the key components of your story. Use the chart below to match each dice roll to the corresponding element for your story. Record your results:
- Monster Type (e.g., Alien, Ghost, Dragon, etc.)
- Monster Appearance (e.g., Glowing red eyes, Slimy, Multiple heads, etc.)
- Monster Power (e.g., Telepathy, Fire-breathing, etc.)
- Monster Weakness (e.g., Bright light, Water, etc.)
- Story Setting (e.g., Haunted mansion, Spaceship, Ancient cave, etc.)
- Plot Twist (e.g., The monster is friendly, The monster needs help, etc.)
After rolling, students will have a list of elements to include in their story.
Step 2: Plan The Story
Now that students have their monster’s characteristics, setting, and plot twist, they will take a moment to brainstorm how these elements will work together in your narrative. Students should think about:
- How does the setting affect the story's tone or mood?
- What motivates your monster? What challenges will the monster face?
- How can the plot twist surprise or change the direction of the story?
Create a brief outline, if needed, to help organize your ideas.
Step 3: Write The Story
Using the elements from their dice rolls, students begin writing their story. They should make sure their narrative has a clear beginning, middle, and end. As they write, students will focus on the following:
- Incorporate all of the rolled elements into the story in a meaningful way. For example, if your monster has a weakness to water, this should play an important role in the plot.
- Use vivid descriptions to bring your monster, setting, and events to life.
- Develop your characters (including the monster!) by giving them motivations and emotions that will drive the story.
- Remember the plot twist—use it to surprise your reader and add depth to your story.
