We are working on our first performance task in class. This writing assignment will be done in class only although if we run out of time it could be assigned as homework if left unfinished. The components of the finished packet should include the following, and I am attaching what word documents I have to the bottom of this announcement.
1. The Rubric
2. Brainstorm (web, jot list, T-chart, or Venn diagram style)
3. Organized Graphic Organizer as an outline
4. Rough Draft (skip lines)
5. Peer Edit form
6. Final Draft in blue or black ink or typed
The breakdown of the short story should follow the example below in format:
Paragraph 1: Introduces the setting and the main characters describing them both physically and internally.
Paragraph 2: Introduces the conflict in the first two sentences with and event that follows and enhances the conflict
Paragraph 3: Two events that build the conflict and increase suspense.
Paragraph 4: The climax and the characters' reaction to the climax
Paragraph 5: The falling action and the resolution of the conflict.
