Hi all,
Students in this course have finished their short stories unit and are now working away at their original compositions. For this unit, students are asked to write four stories:
The first is an injury story. Students shared their various injuries and then put them to paper. Three areas of focus are climax, setting and character development, as well as grammar.
The second story is a conflict story. Areas of focus are establishing characters and setting, climax, and quotations.
The third and fourth story are student choice. Students are asked to vary perspective, point of view, and attempting a flashback.
All student MUST have a peer edit and provide feedback for their work. Feedback includes favourite line, where should there be more description, what changes would you make, and what additions would you add to your work. All edits also include basic grammar and sentence structure.
Final assessment for this project is twofold: Completion of four stories in a timely manner and a self-evaluation. Self evaluation sheets include work habits, reflective questions, and perceived letter grades for each story.
Good luck and enjoy the writing process.
