Mon 4/21--Discuss openings in class
Tues 4/23--Read "Hanwell in Hell" (reader pages 95-104).
Notice how it opens and concludes
In your opinion, why do the opening and conclusion work?
Or, if you think they fail, why? How would you improve them?
Thurs 4/24--
Journal entry: 950 words. Optional topic: reflect on openings and conclusions in your life.
Please bring one of your two stories to class.
Fri 4/25--Re-write the first 150 words of your story from THREE rather different POVs for a minimum word count of 450 words. Please bring in THREE copies of your assignment to share with classmates during a mini-workshop in class on Friday.
Note: make sure to bring three copies of the original opening, too!
Note: changing the POV may change your opening in surprising ways. Let the change in POV dictate where the new opening goes--possibly in a very different direction from the old one.
