We have a substitute today. Please use your time wisely and make sure you are working on your narrative. You should have your story planned out and begin writing. We will start to do some peer editing next week, so make sure you are starting to write your narrative. If you have any free time please use it to read or find a book you would like to read for your 6 week book review. Make sure your book is either on the list or approved by me.
Today's assignments-
English: Today we will work on character development. Your story needs to have strong and entertaining characters to make your story exciting. Today's lesson will help you think deeply about what motivates your characters actions.
First we will look at common character archetypes that occur in literature, and if there are any that may fit into your story.
Then we will look more deeply at our main character and any supporting characters. Remember that supporting characters can be used to create contrast from your main character. Or, that having two supporting characters with opposing views can show dueling conscience of your main character. For example, in Sponge Bob the uptightness of Squidward vs. the free spirit of Patrick
