◦SPQ
◦Work on step 5 (revise/edit, work on new draft,
revise/edit/peer edit, work on draft, etc)
◦What is the theme of your story? How to
reinforce?
◦How to revise for a final –first look through
whole paper for anything that is marked or could have been marked dialogue or
sentence structure, then think of your theme and other aspects of short stories
}Final Draft due FRIDAY: we’ll have some
workshop time tomorrow and Thursday
}Read your book if you have time left
SPQ Directions:
}SPQ Groups:
}You need a sheet of paper with your name
on the top and then the letters S, P, and Q with space next to them for your
editor to write comments while reading
–Summarize
what the story is about (also identify the conflict, climax)
–Point
to sections that worked well –quote the phrases or thoughts (textual evidence)
–Question
anything you didn’t understand; what things does it seem like they are missing?
Anything you want to say to the author goes here (questions, comments,
critiques)
◦If you were given a paper copy and are
sure of a mistake, make a correction on the story itself. If it’s on Google docs, write your suggestion
on the SPQ sheet
◦When you get your SPQ sheet back,
read it and start making changes (deleting things that don’t work is NEVER a
bad thing when working on second or third drafts)
