6/7w only: Sub Day with Mr. Skold !

Hey folks,
I'm sorry I'm out today.  Your goals for today are simple:

• Take a look at the feedback I've given to you on your dystopia.  There is a key, I posted on the top of each paper, on what the different colors mean.  
• Take time to address the questions/concerns I've raised.
• Keep writing.  Final draft is due next week (waiting for winter storm to pass and give exact date).
• Read to a partner and ask for their feedback in terms of typos and storyline confusions.
• Reply to my email on exactly what you accomplished today in class. 

Thanks,

Ms. P

Body language, sensory detail, and figurative language

Today's Focus: 

SHOW DON'T TELL!

Using body language, sensory detail, and figurative language to enhance your story

• Body Language: Intro activity
• Socrative activity
• One person per group needs an iPad
• Socrative is an app--get it for free if you don't have it already
• Peterson108 = login information
• HW: First draft due next class.  3-5 pages OR 750-1300 words. 
• First Draft Packet: you can begin work on it if you'd like. 100 point assignment.

DYSTOPIA WORK

Overall, focus on the following for your Dystopia:

• Draft #1 due: Friday 1/9 (M) or Monday 1/12 (W)
• A problem you see happening in the future
• What the world would look like should this problem come true...exaggerate the results
• Possible places we would see this:
• How we interact with each other?
• What school, society, community looks like?
• Daily life?
• If you do not complete your story, it's okay to consider writing the first chapter or so of a longer piece. 
• Play with figurative language:
• simile
• metaphor
• alliteration
• hyperbole
• personification (or anthropomorphism!) 
• onomatopoeia * (not one we have discussed)
• allusion * (not one we have discussed)
