Tips Continued (POV)… Choose a Point of View (POV) – Methods used to convey the plot (view of the narrator) First Person: see the story from the character’s view including their unspoken thoughts  protagonist Second Person: refers to the main character as “you” – Reader is involved Third Person: Narrator is directly uninvolved – “silent observer” Multiple Person – Jumps between characters involved

Tips Continued… Show DON’T tell –Use detail to create what is occurring rather than just stating it Pick a tone: how you want the piece to feel and the emotion it implies –Sets up a feeling –Consider the message you want to get across

Tips on Characters and Setting Quotes: how a character talks can imply a lot about them –Where they are from –Give the readers insight into their thoughts Use details to clarify the people and places in the story –Relatable and interesting for the reader –Make the characters seem real with your details The detail and character descriptions, in most cases, should not be all positive or all negative  realistic

Grammatical Tips: verbs and transitions Use correct verb tenses and clear transitions –Verb tense: tenses indicate temporal (time) relationship –Keep consistent Transitions: connect words that help link ideas –Without: narrative lack coherence –Indicate order of events and signal shifts in time
