New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

17.3. Writing Narratives W.3.

Today, we're going to work on our short stories, having gone through a few of our own.

 Here are rules for writing a story, once your prewrite is finished. This is extremely difficult to understand before you do it, so don't worry if you only dimly understand it.

 1. A story writer has three concerns - the characters, the plot, and the theme. All three things should be in the writer’s mind at all times.

2. There are three sentence types in stories - narrative (stating what is happening), dialogue (reporting what people are saying (or thinking)), or description (carefully showing how things look).

3. Every sentence in the story should deal with two of the three concerns and be one of the three types.
