Today, we discussed the following writing problems:
Misuse of "a" when "the" should be used
“A lot” is two words not one
How to write out numbers (spell them out up to but not including 100)
I then introduce the short story unit using a powerpoint. If you were not here, the powerpoint is in your portfolio.
Additional plotline information added to the line in the powerpoint included; Setting (time, place, mood situation); characters, point of view; denouement; expository information.
Also discussed is that the protagonist is the main character, but isn’t always a good guy; the antagonist is anything that stands between the protagonist reaching his or her goal (the conflict).
Make sure you have read "War" by Timothy Findley for tomorrow.
