ACTION & DIALOGUE/EXPOSITORY POWER POINT

SENIORS: I've read a lot of boring fight and sports scenes.  Look over what's written on this website, including the comments.  Do you agree or disagree with what you read?  What will you try to avoid if you write a fight/sport scene?

Next, go back to yesterday's blog and read the sections from 7 Craft Lessons titled Write a Thrilling Action Sequence and Use Dialogue to Create Conflict.  Then, click on the link to the writing exercises and follow the directions for Write a Thrilling Action Sequence and Use Dialogue to Create Conflict.  Start off with two characters talking and arguing with each other, which then escalates into an action sequence.  Write about a page and share it with me on Googledocs; title it Action.  

SOPHOMORES:  Today we start a new unit: Expository Writing.  Click on the link to this power point and take notes in your notebook on the differences between Narrative, Expository, and Persuasive writing.
