1. Explain that after all their hard work it is now time to share their writing with other audiences. The class will compile an anthology of their narratives.
2. The class works together to create a classification scheme for their narratives. As a group they generate titles for each category and determine which narratives belong in each category. Possible titles should be listed on the board for review and revision.
3. Based on the results of step two, the class produces a table of contents for the anthology.
