Unless you have work missing, you have no homework (other than SSR) tonight. This week we will be reading 4 more short pieces of Flash Fiction in class (I will read another aloud to you). You will discuss, argue and record the plot structure on the handout I give you in class. Early next week, we will talk about what makes a piece of writing "work". You will then choose a topic to begin writing your own piece of Flash Fiction due the week of November 14th.
You will include many elements of storytelling which may include but are not limited to:
dialogue
blocking
interior monologue
allusion*
setting
direct and indirect characterization
symbolism*
rising action
climax
falling action
resolution
denouement
internal and external conflict
*advanced students, seeking mastery, will make sure to include these traits.
and all of this in just 500-1000 words! (Remember, longer is not necessarily better!)
After you finish your piece of Flash Fiction, and typed Draft of the Role of the Writer, we will begin a novel! Yay! I'm ready, are you?
Period 3 come ready Tuesday 10/30 to finish filling Uwem Akpan on your graphic organizer, as well as filling in the "you" section. We will spend some time looking at the outline for the essay, and I will answer any questions you have. We will start and complete the 40 minutes timed write in class. There will be no journal write or SSR tomorrow so remember to read at home!
