In preparation for the writing of your short story, we reviewed the elements of plot.  In your notebook, titled Plot Roller Coaster, draw the plot roller coaster (from Nanowrimo) and label the parts.  Then, look at Marriage is a Private Affair and identify which parts of the story go with which parts of the plot roller coaster.

DEADLINES:  5pm today---Anything from Marriage is a Private Affair
                         Midnight, Oct.1---Anything from The Bracelet
                         Midnight, Oct.15---Final draft of your short story

Also, in your notebook, under the title Quick Write #2, write for 5 minutes without stopping.  First, write about anything that comes into your head, then move into what happened this weekend.  The idea is to keep the pen moving, even if you have to write nonsense; eventually, a cognizant thought will break through.
