Thursday, Oct. 19 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: Prefixes
}SSR Blog Post -due Monday, see blogging blog for details
}Print off your story (hopefully you have worked on revising it, so it isn’t the same version as last week)
Theme tracing –what is your theme? Where is it alluded to? What details build your message? –highlight all pieces of theme as you develop it (think of “The Sniper”)
}Writer’s Workshop time
Work on what you need to do to make this story the best piece of writing you have done
}Take a look at your first short story
Most likely you have some similar issues (especially punctuation, sentence structure, and grammar), so check your perspective story for those.
I will be grading this one more critically than the first one, so REALLY look at your story.
}All parts of the story
Make sure your story has all aspects of a plot chart (especially the falling actions/resolution)
Universal theme
}Show don’t Tell
Make sure you have LOTS of details!
}Revising sometimes means taking things out that don’t work.
}Fluency- make sure your story SOUNDS good and that sentences and words flow
}Edit/Proof Read
Print out your story if it will help you check for errors more.
}Meet with me if you would like: make sure you have a purpose in our meeting…

Third draft –fluency self-edit
