  1. Look over your college essaysAnd pass up your HW College Prep 2-11-13

  2. NOTE • If you and your parents are coming to conferences, I would like to hold on to your papers so that we have a tangible piece of your work in this class • SOOOOO……give ‘em back • I’ll return them at the end of our conference.

  3. Conferences • DON’T freak out!!!! You know you have plenty of opportunities to make your paper better • I have failed you….slightly. I should have told you that “college essays” should actually be called called “college narratives” • These “essays” should be stories that illuminate your topic • I will call you up individually • Come will questions • We will talk about your paper, the rubric, and avenues by which to improve your paper • You have two weeks (until Feb 25th) to submit revisions

  4. What You Need to Do While Others are Conferencing • 1) Read “The Short Story” and “Thinking About Plot” in your packet” (pages 1 and 2). • 2) Read “A Good Man is Hard to Find” • Annotate for plot structure AND character development • HINT: the grandmother and the misfit • Look at the questions at the end as well….answering them might just help you understand the story more fully • 3) Read “Freytag on Plot” in your packet (pages 9 and 10)…these pages define the plot structure terms

  5. What You Need to Do While Others are Conferencing (CONT) • 4) Think about YOUR story • What do you want to “discuss” (main idea) • What is your comment on that main idea (author’s opinion) • How will your characters embody that argument • How will you show us your characters embodying that argument (8 facets of characterization) • 6) Fill out your “Plot Diagram” graphic organizer (page 12) • This is the basic frame of your story • If you have questions, look at pages 9 and 10 in your packet • 7) Fill out your “ Sequence of Events” graphic organizer (page 13) • This takes your basic frame and makes it more specific
