It takes a village to write a story…
Guidelines:
1) You may not maim, kill-off, or send to another planet, any other character. Bottom line, the other character has as many rights as do you.
2) Your should “look over your shoulder" at the ideas, themes, and characters from the summer reading. Let those authors gently guide your writing, but don’t try to recreate the same plot line.
3) Each week, for the first three weeks, you will draw a number from the “bag o’ fate." That number will match another number in either your class or the other one. You must include that character in your next chapter. Feel free to include other characters or characters outside the domain.
4) As we discuss the summer text, let them slide into your consciousness and guide your writing. Let them influence you in the world in which you create in your reality.
5) This activity’s objective is to engage in how a text takes shape in the artist’s mind and how the reader receives it. You should not be so attached to your end of the story that you cannot let others influence your writing as well.
6) The writing activity will take place over the course of six weeks. Each week, by Tuesday night you should post your blog. Wednesday, we will draw numbers. The last three weeks you are set free to interact with whomever you choose.
7) Ideas to consider:
a.) Setting is as important as character. Do not forget/neglect the world around your character. Setting helps authenticate experience.
b.) Conflict must be present. Internal conflict is more difficult to authenticate than external.
c.) Don’t forget about literary devices.
d.) Each time you write, reread your previous entry. Build on the unknown and the unknowable.
e.) Have fun.
8) Grade is based on your evaluation of your character, your classmates evaluation, and, of course, mine.
