  4. Our Book and Chapters • ISBN #0-321-47583-6 • Chapters we’ve read so far: • 1: Reading a Story • 2. Point of View • 3. Character • 4. Setting • 5. Tone and Style • 6. Theme • 13. Writing about A Story • 7. Symbol • 8. Evaluating a Story

  5. In Class Workshop 1.3 • Twenty-five minutes… • In the drop box, in a folder titled: In Class Samples, you will find THREE samples of Exercise 1.3. • Read these samples very carefully. • Prepare a list of three things you found compelling and salient about these exercises and three things that you found needed work. • To the best of your ability, based on your own sense of what we have learned so far, please assign a grade of A through E to the work. • Come back to the room prepared to aggressively defend your points.

  6. At Home Exercise • Ten minutes… • Please choose one paragraph you have worked on for your essay thus far. Excerpt this paragraph and look at it as a separate entity. • Outline the five essential parts of the paragraph. Topic Sentence that stakes a claim; evidence from the text; your analysis of that evidence, closure and transition. • Then replace that paragraph and move on to the next.

  7. FINAL DRAFT • After your conference, and after you have gone over the work at length, please print out your paper in a different font and read it out loud, slowly and clearly. • Construct a reverse outline from your final draft – i.e. you should be able to reduce your paper down to a bulleted outline that is very clear and concise. • Re-examine your Introduction, your thesis, and your conclusion. Check that each body paragraph adheres to our standards. • In your conclusion, push for the expansive, and address the larger implications of your argument. Consider personal experience only if relevant.
