Thursday/Friday Sub plans
Thursday's agenda:
Check out this video on your own to review the plot structure we went over yesterday:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvFB6XVbSAY
To have some more information and a real-life example of plot structure, check out this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffAOkGg2Lr4
If you get writer's block today or tomorrow, try some of these techniques.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOr2LGi_Ef8
Using your notes from yesterday, and the information from the videos, work on completing your short story outline, which is due Friday at end of class. The actual assignment is on google classroom, the most recent assignment. Click on the assignment, open the doc, and fill in your outline as you complete it.
Expectations: Quiet worktime (either silent or speaking quietly with a classmate about how to make your story better). Remember, the story is a dystopian story where a society has chosen an ideal, taken it to an extreme, and everything has gone wrong. Your character is somehow different than everyone else, and learns to resist the dystopia.
Friday:
Continue working on your outline, which is on google classroom. Turn in by end of class. If not complete, turn in anyways.
If you complete your outline before class ends, check out this video to help you get started on getting a better sense of who your main character is and how you will describe them in your first draft: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt2PcwKHbxc
