9.4 Due!

Draft 1 of your Chapter 9 story is due. (pg. 174-195) Before you turn it in, please take a look at pg. 190--exercise 9.5.

1. Read over your rough draft.
2. Look for an action that can be repeated in your story. Repetition stresses importance in a story.
3. Look for a specific image that can be repeated at least twice in your story. This may be a description of the setting, or use an object and instill meaning into it.

Add step 2 & 3 to your rough draft. Give your story a title and then please print out this draft. Call it draft 1 in the heading.

Complete your draft - Due next class (no kidding this time).
