For Language Arts

Writer’s Workshop

This week you will work up a short story start to finish.

Start with Pre-Writing – The Brainstorm phase.  Come up with a plan for a story with a great plot, characters, setting, etc.

Draft out your short story.

Edit and Revise.  Seek assistance and advice from others.  Take their criticism and make your story better.

Email your final finished copy to me.

You can choose any genre.  I expect it to be 300-500 words. (1-1/2 pages)

Always consider the advice of all great writers.  WRITE WHAT YOU KNOW.  You have read books and had many life experiences.  Draw inspiration from these.  It could be a ski trip story with friends or a Zombie apocalypse story.  The sky is the limits.

Of course: READ, READ, READ!  Everyday!
