September 13

Homework

  • Writing Minutes
  • Freewriting * (The last message from the starship was, "Let us drift.  It's for your own good."
  • Use the outlines you completed for homework last week to create paragraphs.  Here's an example.
  • Begin composing the story based on your picture.  We will be experimenting with flashbacks in this story.  You will want to begin your story at a moment of action, then you will use a flashback to explain what happened leading up to this event.  Once you come to the moment you have already described you will continue the story to the end.
    • Make sure you use clear signal words to indicate that you have traveled back in time
    • Use the past perfect tense (had + verb) in your flashback to indicate that that this part of the story was complete before your opening scene.
    • Check out the links below if you need to review flashbacks or past perfect verb tense!
Flashbacks
Past Perfect Information 

*Complete Freewriting after all other assigned writing is complete.
