BLOCK C AND D
- Completed story due on Tuesday December 1
(your final, completed, and edited story due date has been changed to
Dec 7 because we have not had enough time to work on the stories together -
turn in with
check list AND your dramatic arc and theme analysis for your story)
TODAY we begin our official writer's workshop.
Our goal is to help each other to write the best possible dystopian story.
Process:
- Groups of 4
- Each person reads what they have written so far
- Workshop buddies listen carefully for:
- The building of the dramatic arc
- Details (sensory and descriptive), especially in setting and character
- Continuity of the story - does the story make sense
- What is confusing?
- Dystopian words (also called domain specific)
- Workshop buddies will also provide feedback to the writer as far as theme.
- Opinions must be objective, listen to what the writer is trying to say, NOT what you think the writer should say
- Everyone offers a thought, starting with warm and them moving to cool (how can the work be improved)
- The writer is not allowed to talk until the end
- Respectful listening is required - do not be worried about your own work
- Have paper and pencil so you can jot down thoughts while the writer is reading their work.
