Be prepared to choose that one and begin a lead paragraph.

Try to avoid the story topics that are too broad or distant and don't give you a personal and emotional voice as an journalist.

There is no new product to create today. Continue to work with your explanations, writing, and research from Monday.

Think about Suspense, think about a rickety bridge over a 1000ft. gorge... shaking, wavering, splintered wood. That's what you need to put your reader on as they look for the solution of the mystery. Now, transitions are what bridge your scenes... here's some practice.

watch the slides, have a discussion, have some tea, write some mystery

You'll be copying a slide to plan your plot and climax, then creating a document for the opening scene of the mystery.

Let's go through the slides. Pay close attention to the different techniques authors use to show large and small time changes.

A slide show that you'll be making your own... This is a two day assignment, so beTHOROUGH !! BE AS COMPLETE IN YOUR PLAN AS POSSIBLE.
Please remember, this is not the story. This is the plan, your guide, your notes.
You should be able to write on each slide and fill in the sections, but only if you had an approved topic.
IF YOU DID NOT HAVE AN APPROVED STORY IDEA, YOU'VE GOT TO GET THAT DONE FIRST.

make 2 slides.
-on each slide write an idea for your mystery story
-include crime, at least 2 clues, one false clue, and two suspects

I will evaluate them and approve one. If I neither seems like a good idea, I'll ask you to resubmitt.

As we go through the slides, think about how to create clues, red herrings (false clues), alilbi, and motives.
Use the planning sheet

After the lesson and reviewing the first story
Complete the analysis of the mystery link

Make a Slide show.
Each slide should list and explain one reason for breaking writing up into paragraphs.
Remember, the 5th Slide should come from yesterday's lesson on dialogue.

1.Take the Narrative Test: Narrative and Friends

where to write your paragraph

This is the story we are building now. After you finish the Lead Practice assignment, you can begin working on the final draft. This is where you bring all the parts together. The opening, development of setting, the climax and the resolution.

In this story, I will be specifically looking for correct comma use, ellipsis use, descriptive language and setting and finally, a well written "problem scene" or climax.

You'll also include a section (a., b., c...) that will be a "possible" twist for your story. Do both things in this assignment by creating a Google.doc

You will create a Google .doc and begin writing a 10-15 minute essay. Explain, in writing, something or somethings we probably don't know about you or something that is important to you. Keep the slide show in mind. Are there things about you that are vital to who you are, but you don't let out to a lot of people. This might be something you have just learned about or found out and now it is a huge part of you. Please double space, font no larger than 18, and I would expect this to be between 3/4 and 1 page.

Then: Create an "I" or "eye" chart based on the video lesson... this is a quick work. What I am looking for is you in the middle and at least 10 details about your surroundings or about yourself.
