Communications

Greetings,


Students in communications class are currently completing their novel studies as well as three reading and comprehension packages.


Last week, students were introduced to story telling and original compositions. Question asked include:


What makes a great story?

What is a flashback?

What is P.O.V. (Point of view)

How do we develop great characters?



We watched the TED talk "the clues to a great story" by Andrew Stanton. See link below.

We also discussed the fact that we all have stories. Tap into your prior experiences and develop your characters well.



Assignment:


Write a 250 word original composition with a beginning, middle and end. Include a flashback and write from the first-person point of view.


This is a rough copy only.


We will peer and self edit and revise before handing in a final copy.
