Scariest Place Project Guidelines

Choose a scary place from the list and research it looking at the following components:

Where is it located?
Why is it considered scary?
Would you go there? Why or why not?

Once you have gotten all the details, begin creating a PowerPoint or Prezi.
You must have a minimum of 5 slides worth: 20 points
1. Map of location
2. Picture of the place
3. Describe why its scary using imagery
You are then going to create a fictional protagonist and antagonist. Then, use the scary place you chose
as the setting for a short 1-2 page story. Remember to keep it 3rd person limited and the spooky tone
should continue throughout. (30 points)
You will narrate your story after you have given details about the setting, so the last 3 slides can be used
to illustrate your story. Keep in mind photos need to be school appropriate!
