Character Study

Mrs. Moreno and I are impressed with the quality of work you are doing in building characters, but please remember that class work time is for just that - work. Do not waste time chatting unaccountably (off topic)...and any work not completed in class should be completed at home for homework.

A reminder: Please bring loose leaf paper each day with you, or contribute a stack to the class and keep it in the room. We are moving out of our sourcebooks for drafting, but you will still need them each day for the mini-lesson and notes.

Both classes will begin the drafting process tomorrow. We will revisit the plot maps and see if any revisions to our original ideas are necessary. Then, we will figure out the sequence, the order in which we want to unfold the story to the reader. The plot map is an essential tool -- so
please bring this with you to class each day.
