Assignment 2.03 (the genre fiction draft) is due today. For details please see previous posts and eLearning lesson 2.03. You may also use period 7 to gather your materials and put them into your portfolio. Portfolios will be collected next class (Dec. 5).
Put Together a Fiction Portfolio:
1. Gather all your draft files.
2. Revise your most current drafts. Proofread, correct grammar, add details, description, etc. Make sure your story is complete and you are satisfied with the outcome before you print. If you created a second draft, please label it as a second draft!
3. Make sure you have a title for your stories. Don't leave your babies unnamed!
4. It doesn't matter what project or assignment created the fiction; likely your fiction will expand and change from the initial assignment or project. Consider going back to earlier projects and revising now that you have a more complete understanding of fictional elements. It's okay to change POV, plot arrangement, add/cut words, etc.
5. When you are satisfied with your work, print these files. Make sure your drafts are numbered. Unnumbered drafts will not be given credit.
6. Most recent drafts (the higher number) should be on top. Paperclip or staple drafts together. A good way to check whether or not you really crafted your work is to look through your drafts. Each draft should add pages or cut them. Crafting is a series of additions and subtractions -- or sifting to reveal the polished creative story beneath.
7. Keep your drafts in your portfolio.
8. Your portfolio is due next class (December 5).
During period 8:
Please gather again in your book club groups and complete the discussion sheet by having a...discussion about the stories you should have read in the collection. With time remaining in the period, select another range of pages to complete for next class, then either read or share your fiction with one another.
HOMEWORK: None. Your portfolios are due next class. Complete any missing assignments.
