MOTIVATION/PEER EDIT

SENIORS: What is motivation?  What motivates a character's actions in a story? Click on the following links to read a short story that has been divided up in numbered paragraphs.  Link to page 1; link to page 2; link to page 3.The entire story is written from the point of view of one character; we never see or hear the other character(s).  In between each paragraph, create the character(s) that our protagonist is responding to.  What makes him or her respond the way s/he does? Click on this link to see an example of what your work should look like.

SOPHOMORES: Today you gave and received some feedback from a peer in the class. Try to concentrate on identifying the different elements of a story that we have been talking about.  Click on the following 2 links for lists of what should be in your story.  First link; second link. Remember, this story is due Tuesday, Oct.21.  If you don't think you'll be finished with your final draft on that date by working on it just in class, then you have to work on it as homework.

Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey; it's for our WASC certification, so it's important for the school.  Thank you, and here is the link.
