}Bell Ringer: 10 min Independent Reading
Time
}Collaboration time
◦Universal Big Ideas for Themes sheet with
you when you go, along with your list of common
}Research Writing Project guidelines
}First Person –you ARE the person (I, me,
my, we)
}Realistic Fiction –it is set in the
area/situation you researched, based in REALITY
}Possible Approaches:
◦Memoir –autobiographical writing that
shares narrator’s personal experience
◦Diary entries
◦Letters to someone
}Shows a specific day/series of days or
event or issue
}Not overly filled with statistics (more
like fiction, less like non fiction =SHOW don’t tell)
}Shows a universal theme/common issue of
human experience through the thoughts, feelings, actions, plot that you put
your narrator in/give your narrator
}First Person Accounts
}Organize your notes, figuring out what
event/situation/issue you are going to be writing about first –once
you
have thought about how
to make your information match the requirements, you can start making a story map (make a
copy of the story map shared with you)
}Writer’s Workshop
◦Finish any steps that you haven’t
(research, notes, etc)
◦Story Map or Plot Chart: you need a plan
for your story that covers the main points of a short story (like we made for
our last story) (Due beginning of class tomorrow): digital or paper
–Your
story must have exposition (setting, characters, internal and external
conflict), rising actions, climax, falling actions, resolution, universal theme
◦Begin Rough Draft
