Monday, Sept. 24 Agenda

}Bell Ringer: Dialogue format mini-lesson (editing section)
}Finish “Cask of Amontillado” pg 349 –finish story and questions for HW
While reading, take notes in reader’s notebook of details that identify and describe setting and mood (sensory details, repetition, descriptions)
**Question based on active reading: “What is the mood and what 2-3 details of setting most help establish that mood?”
**Question 8: Consider whether Montresor is a reliable or unreliable narrator. Is the reader to believe, as Montresor does, that his revenge is justified? Is Montresor more sane or crazy? Give details from the story to support your opinion.
}Writer’s Workshop Time
What my comments mean
Dialogue (natural), Show don’t Tell/more showing, development of aspects of a short story (exposition, rising actions, climax, falling actions, resolution), character details (backstory)
First Draft Evaluation: Exemplary, Accomplished, Promising, Developing, Beginning
Answer: How does your story demonstrate/reflect the human experience? What aspects? In what way?
Meet with me (if your draft has comments on it, you have written how it demonstrates the human experience, and you have done what the white board says)
Revise from first draft to second if you have Comments from me and have figured out where to start with those comments (or second to third if you self-revise a bit more)
Revising: working to make the ideas of your story stronger, adding more showing/details, removing parts that don’t work, adding more character detail, move ideas and sentences around, substitute words (stronger descriptions, details, etc)
Final Draft due TUESDAY the 2nd: we’ll have some workshop time the next few days
Work Time Choices:
Finish first draft, upload to Turnitin if you haven’t yet

You MUST meet with me today
