Week 9: Scene
Mon 3/18: S--Read Writing Fiction, "Long Ago: Fictional Time," pp. 193-207.
Wed 3/20: L--Story Assignment #2 due
Please bring Writing Fiction to class; we'll discuss the chapter on Fictional Time/Scene today.
Note: no extensions can be granted on this assignment because we can't postpone workshopping the stories.
Bring three copies to class to share with classmates (make sure they're numbered and stapled)
Note: this story will only be read by the three classmates in your workshopping group--not the whole class.
Workshopping groups are as follows:
Block D:
Group 1: Sonia, Aadil, Sierra, Kyle
Group 2: Mia, Catherine, Isaac, Josh
Group 3: Isabel, Simon, Carson, Marcella
Group 4: Ethan, Michael, Reilly, Grace
Block E:
Group 1: Emmie, Claire, Jack, Walter
Group 2: Lucy, Izzy, Alex, Ben P
Group 3: Danna, Sarah, Ben L, KiraGroup
Group 4: Paulos, Justin, Jessica, Caroline
If you have any questions about your story you want feedback on, I'd suggest writing them at the end of your story, rather than the beginning. Often a good idea to write down specific questions you have for your peers!
Note: Please don't leave your classmates' stories lying around. Remember that they're confidential.
Requirements for Story Submission (same as last time)
Thurs 3/21 (Block E) or Fri 3/22 (Block F): L--
Read student stories (we'll be workshopping during class time)
In the margins and at the end of the story, please do the following:
Comment on what works/is successful in the piece.
Comment on questions you have--what you'd like clarification on, etc.
Suggest corrections for mechanical errors respectfully.
Remember to be encouraging, not harsh--these are early drafts!
Authors: print out and bring a copy of your own story (so you can refer to it when your classmates comment on it)
