-recap last class

- writing exercise

- questions on Unit 5&6

What do you remember of last class?
Can you name the 3 'writing-tools'
we discussed?

conflict

escalating a conflict drives the plot and makes the story more interesting

character

Well-rounded characters make the story more interesting and believable. When characters are well-rounded, it means they have different qualities, personalities, and motivations that make them feel real. This helps create more engaging and relatable stories.

sensory

When you use sensory details, you describe what can be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, and touched in your story. This helps readers imagine the scene and feel like they are a part of the story.

By incorporating sensory details, you can bring your stories to life and create a stronger connection between the reader and the narrative.

before clicking on the hotspots, try to remember what you've learned about this topic in last class. Then read the description to see if you were correct.

AIM

At the end of the class you can write a
creative story in which you use:

1) adding sensory descriptions

or 2) well-rounded characters

or 3) escalating the conflict to increase tension. 

How?

1. Decide on your own learning goal for this assignment.
What are you going to be working on? 

2. Write down the steps you will take to make sure you reach that goal.

3. Pick a scenario you will write about.

4. Start writing! (300-600 words)
