4. Summative Assignment Due October 25th at 4:00 pm.
I wrote a 2-page narrative that was developed and strengthened by planning, revising, and editing. My narrative has a defined plot and a conclusion that reflects on what is experienced, observed, or resolved over the course of the narrative.
I effectively balanced all listed elements of fiction to develop my story and characters. Additionally, I made informed decisions about the point of view, word choice, and sentence structure to enhance the impact of my narrative.
I adequately used all listed elements of fiction to develop my story and characters. Additionally, I made informed decisions about the point of view, word choice or sentence structure to enhance the impact of my narrative.
I functionally used all listed elements of fiction to develop my story and characters. Additionally, I made informed decisions about the point of view to enhance the impact of my narrative.

Summative Assignment

5. Formatives We have done: We will do:
Personal Exposition (to practice elements of setting)
Time you were misunderstood (to practice POV)
Time you saw a flaw in others or watched someone grow up (to practice characterization, dialogue and blocking)
Time you saw two sides to someone (to practice word choice and sentence structure)
Time you met someone brave (to practice putting all of the lessons together)
Brave is also a work sample and that might be helpful to mention to folks.

6. Dialogue Examples What is it?
“Shoot no wonder, then,” said Jem, jerking his thumb at me. “Scout yonder’s been readin‘ ever since she was born, and she ain’t even started to school yet. You look right puny for goin’ on seven” (Lee 7).
“Let’s not let our imaginations run away with us, dear,” she said. “Now you tell your father not to teach you any more. It’s best to begin reading with a fresh mind. You tell him I’ll take over from here and try to undo the damage-” (Lee 17).
What is it?
Dialogue helps the reader understand the characters. Use real language and make each character sound distinct. Each person’s “voice” is like a fingerprint- unique. Find places in your story where you tell, instead of using dialogue, to make your characters come alive.

7. Rules for Dialogue
Look though the text for examples of dialogue formatting and punctuation. Working with your group, develop for some of the rules around how dialogue is formatted and punctuated. Create a poster that explains these rules. Be ready to share out with the class.

8. Rules for Dialogue
Use quotation marks before and after a character's exact words. Place a period inside closing quotation marks.
Example: "Peter and Esteban are joining us.”
Use a comma to set off the speaker's dialogue from the beginning of a quotation. Place the comma inside closing quotation marks when the speaker's tag follows the quotation.
Example: Harry said, "Come on, Ray. It'll be fun.”
Use quotation marks around each part of a divided quotation. Remember to set off the speaker's tag with commas.
Example:  "I'm not sure," said Ray, "that I feel like it."

9. Rules for Dialogue
Place a question mark or an exclamation point inside the quotation marks when it is part of the quotation.
Example: "When will we be back?" Ray asked.
Place a question mark or an exclamation point outside the quotation marks when it is not part of the quotation.
Example:   Did I hear Ray say, "Okay"?
Start a new paragraph when you move from one speaker to another. 
"How long a hike is it?" Ray asked. "I don't know whether I have the energy."
      "I think," said Iris, "that it's about seven miles to the top."

10. Revise for Dialogue In pairs: Read your narrative to each other
Together, look at your narrative you wrote.
Revise it to make sure you have clear dialogue that follows the rules.

11. Revision for Characterization
Pick two colors and make a key for direct and indirect characterization.
Highlight the examples of your characterization.
Indirect Characterization
What they say (dialogue)
What they do (behavior & actions)
What they think (interior monologue)
What they have and wear (appearance)
Where they are (setting)
The people with whom they associate
What others say about them
Naming
Direct Characterization:
Telling the reader exactly what the character’s personality is like.

12. Revising for Character
Now that you have your 1st draft highlighted, look for where you can add additional characterization or where can you take direct characterization and make it indirect. Tip: Use the dialogue tags or blocking as a way to build in some characterization. “I don’t care if we ever win,” the tall blond man said as he stood next to the ally wall. Revised: Bringing his foot up to rest against the wall, he spat out the words, "I don’t care if we ever win,” and used the smoke from his cigarette to punctuate the end of his sentence.

13. Chapter 8- Dialectical Journal
Selection from the Text
Your Ideas/Response
“When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow” (Lee 3).
This is a strange way to start a book. I wonder what the purpose is? Maybe it is foreshadowing something that will be important in the text.
Audio is 23 minutes
3-5 entries per chapter.

14. Exit Slip

As I walked across the grocery store parking lot I could feel the noon-day sun searing my flesh. My neon pink top and acid wash jeans would be too hot for today’s weather.
