Today we talked about characters with depth and how important that is for an interesting story. We worked on a character chart for Christopher's parents in the novel, Curious... and answered questions about their strengths, flaws, and actions. This is to be finished for tomorrow.
We also wrote a descriptive paragraph about a grandparent (either your own or imagined) to illustrate their full character. Rough drafts of these are tomorrow.
Reminders:
For tomorrow,
character chart filled out with at least 2 quotations and the rest with detailed descriptions
a rough draft paragraph of a grandparent
For Wednesday, finish the book.
Tomorrow we are going to start our mystery short stories and have the rough drafts finished for Tuesday, so if you will not be at class please, I hope that you came and talked to me as I said today. If not go to Ms. Stenson's room and ask for a copy of the "Mystery Short Story Writing" package or email me at meglan@uvic.ca and I will send it to you.
