Preparing for Crafting

Let's rename the next writing stage "crafting" instead of drafting. We are truly building complicated characters, realistic plots (some with twists), and we will next work on mood, building scenes, and creating realistic settings. As we draft, remember to use your classmates as "sounding boards" for your ideas. As you sit with others who are working in the same sub-genre (social issues, psychological, mystery, or adventure), you can share ideas and give each other guidance/suggestions.

Continue to read realistic fiction books - they are the best models for your writing.

A reminder about ePortfolios - continue to gather all of your digital work using GoogleDocs. Mrs. Marks' advisory will be in the pub lab on Thursday uploading our work/reflections.
