Wondering about Wednesday?

Block B: Understanding audience and purpose - the two big take-away concepts from today's lesson. After some practice with these ideas - we jumped into our first major project. You will be writing children's stories combing everything that we've been learning about the different terminology and applying it to your own story. In class today - we worked on the character sketch. Almost everyone has a pretty good start to understanding who their character is - tomorrow we will get started on the basics of the plot.

Block C: Today we continued to talk about foreshadowing - and how authors hint at the action to come in a story. If you did not manage to complete the foreshadowing chart and questions for "Death by Scrabble" please do so for homework tonight.

Block D: There is no homework tonight! The good copy (double-spaced) of your "Wish You Were Here" Task is due on Monday. Here is a reminder of the different tasks - just in case you want to double-check the assignment.

 We will work on the story map for "The Father" tomorrow.
