Final draft due the first block day after break! Script Workshop

You know the drill by now: Make a key at the top of your paper using your highlighters Sample: Blue=Statement (Who you are, what archetype, characteristics of archetype, etc) Pink=Proof (anecdotes for HOW you learned each thing/were shaped and anecdotes showing HOW you are now) Yellow=Commentary (Tying it all together. Talk about the anecdote and explain HOW it helped you learn each thing/shape you and Address WHY this is important) Label the transitions at the end of each section Highlight the body sections for statement, proof, and commentary using your key

Introduction Do you have a “hook”? Have you introduced yourself, your artifact, and your archetype? Is there a strong green word thesis prior to launching into your speech? Remember, this is a good place to mention your historical figure or fictional character by adding a quote from that person. You can incorporate these elsewhere if they don’t fit in your intro.

First Section Circle the SPECIFIC thing(s) you learned from the chosen family member(s), event or activity. TIE TO ARCHETYPICAL QUALITIES For example: loyalty, empathy, finding joy in small things, working hard, the value of money, etc. If you haven’t included anything specific, you MUST add that. Make a note. Did you include the story of HOW you learned this/these? HOW did this person/people/ event/ activity teach you what you said they did? Be specific If you don’t have this, make yourself a note Do you have a SPECIFIC example of HOW you apply it or how you exhibit the learned trait today? Should PROVE that you really did learn the trait(s) you say you did If you don’t have this, make yourself a note

Connections to Artifact For each section make sure you have: Addressed the part of your artifact that connects to that section Explained any symbolism or metaphor in what you used to represent that section If you haven’t done these things, write yourself a note to add it.

ADDITIONAL SECTIONS If you have additional sections, repeat the process with each.

Conclusion: Future Goals Things to consider for your conclusion: Circle the SPECIFIC goals you have Can be from any area of your life. Doesn’t just have to be career related. How do they relate to your archetype? HOW did you come to these goals? Where did these come from Connect them to all relevant family, friends, events, hobbies, and interests. HOW do these goals influence the decisions you have been making and will make? Have you taken specific classes or joined specific clubs for these goals? Do you volunteer anywhere related? Are you focusing on grades or going somewhere specifically for that major?

Purpose Look at the things you circled in each section: Is this what you want your audience to understand/know about you? Is this the impression you want them to leave with? If your answer is “no,” you need to re-evaluate what you’ve chosen to include

Language Register Check Are you staying in formal register? Look back at notes to check. Use a pen or a pencil to circle any register drops and write “register” next to these circled areas. You may use personal pronouns like “I,” “me,” “my,” “we,” “us,” and “our.” Absolutely no “you” or “your” Use Control+F to find all the “you”s and “your”s

Audience Awareness Have you said anything that may alienate your audience? Insulted your audience Used inappropriate language Anything else that may be questionable? If you have, you will need to change it

To Do for Final Draft: Make revisions Time it! Read it aloud for both editing and timing. Practice. Practice some more. Practice again. Read it out loud EVERY DAY to facilitate memorization Deliver your speech in front of a mirror, to your friends, parents, etc. Practice and repetition WILL pay off. Bring your final draft, your rough draft, and your artifact the first block day after break. If you aren’t here, it is all still due by the beginning of the class period. turnitin.com receipt required
