This afternoon, please redo your outlines as they are not formatted correctly.
If your outline is not in the proper format you will receive no grade for it. Sometimes formatted counts a lot to publishers. It's also a good skill to have. Most students got the "gist" of the idea, without reading or looking at the examples as to how to set up the outline. Shame. Learn. That's your job as a student.
Use Roman numerals for major things like: Title, character, plot, setting, theme, etc. Use #'s for details headings under this: Under CHARACTER, you might put: 1. John, 2. Peppie, 3. Snashza
Under these, use letters to add details 1. John: a. Hobo, b. friendly, c. Protestant, d. 50-55 years old, but looks younger.
Outlines should always be parallel--in other words if there is a #1, there has to be a #2. If you have an A., you need a B.

Tips from your questions/problems:

Organizing scenes & moving plot & plot motivators
Once you have your outline corrected and turned in, please continue working on your story draft. Complete a "ticket out the door".
If you do not finish your draft today in class, please complete it on your own time over break. Additionally, please complete the short story collection you have been reading and be prepared to take an exam on the book when you return from break. This will be an open-note exam, so taking notes may be a good idea.
HOMEWORK: See above. Have a great spring break! Woo-hoo, sunshine!
