}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
