Final Unit: Narrative/Descriptive One Pager Look- fors
Focus • Engage and orient the reader by setting out a problem situation, or observation AND its significance • Establish one POV • Introduce a narrator and/or characters
Content • Use techniques such as dialogue, description, reflection, multiple plot lines, and pacing to develop experiences, events, and or characters. • Use precise words and phrases, showing details, sensory language to convey a vivid picture
Style • Use parallel structure • Use various types of phrases/clauses to convey specific meaning and add variety and interest • Use precise language, story-specific vocabulary, and techniques such as metaphors, similes, and analogies to manage the complexity of the topic.
One Pager # 1 • Expressive writing option • 1st person perspective- from your point of view • Use of dialogue • An experience you’ve actually had/having with a certain person/thing, in a particular place, at a designated moment, a repeat experience • Remember, it’s only one page! Be sure to plant the seed- allow it to grow- but be sure to tie it altogether.
One Pager # 2 • Choose a character who is not the usual focus of a popular fairy tale, and tell their account of a significant event. (e.g. the Prince’s ball from the perspective of one of Cinderella’s step-sisters, the day Grumpy met Snow White from his perspective, Mama Bear’s account of the day Goldilocks came) • Expand on a free write in the life of another person. You will have another free write topic Tuesday. • Retell the story from your first one-pager from the perspective of someone else who was present or involved. • Expand one of your seed stories
Reflective writing option • 1st person from an alternate perspective • Include a secondary purpose- beyond entertainment- theme, lesson, societal problem, complicated subject… • Use dialogue (create tension, develop relationships, move story forward) • Remember, it’s only one page!
One Pager # 3 • Reflective + Expressive, dialogue, figurative language, sensory images, descriptive language • 3rd person point of view : the narrator is someone who stands outside the story and describes the characters and actions. • Omniscient- narrator knows everything that goes on- including the thoughts/feelings of EVERY character. • Limited- narrator describes the event as only ONE character perceives them. • NO USE OF “I” unless in a direct quote. • Complete blue brainstorm sheet based upon the character’s initials, setting, and topic you picked in class—YES! You must use center your story upon these three qualifiers. • Original story – no real or fictious characters, setting, stories that already exist
