While in the lab these days we will not have journal work.
You're assignment is to complete 5 pages of your short story. Please use the rubric to be sure you are meeting the requirements.
If you'd like, you can also redo your bibliography, in order to raise your grade.
Due Friday at the end of class.
Suggestions:
- Aim to have the first rising action occur within the first 2 pages
- By the 5th page, you should have about 3 rising action occurances
- Make short goals. Examples: "I'd like to have this dialogue introduce another main character" or "I will use this paragraph to characterize the narrator"
- You should have some dialogue on about every other page
- Dialogue shouldn't be much longer than about 1 page.
- Avoid using exclaimation points, bold, italics, all caps, etc. Make statements will your words and the arrangement of them.
- Narrate in the past tense. Example: Susie walked to the store. She bought milk and eggs for their dinner. Breakfast for dinner has always been her favorite.
