Please turn in your permission slips for the field trip to my in-box. I will collect them.
Together in groups of 2-4, please take the first 10-15 minutes of class to read the short story from your Sudden Fiction collection on page 20-23 "Sunday in the Park". After you read the story, identify the characters, the setting, the tone, and the major conflict in the story. Discuss the story. How might you change it to make it better or different in your opinion?
Then, pair up with a partner for this next exercise. Taking turns at writing paragraphs, create a story together. The trick though is to only communicate with your partner through writing. That means instead of talking about what will happen in the story, write, and then let your partner read and continue the story. Keep passing off the story one paragraph at a time with your partner until you have at least 1 full page (or between 1-3 pages). Title your story when you are finished and print it out and turn it in for credit.
When you have completed this assignment, please continue to work on your eLearning modules or read the next few stories in your Sudden Fiction books (see homework).
HOMEWORK: Please read pp. 24-38. As you read, pay attention to how the author creates a conflict, setting, and complete short story all in under 3-4 pages. Choose one of these stories as your favorite and be prepared to discuss it next class.
