Today we will discuss Chapter 8 (Thematic Chapter) and your ideas for topics. I will move the quiz on Chapter 8 back till next Monday (too many things going on). It will be a basic "DID YOU READ" quiz. Today you should start your narrative essay. Remember the following KEY POINTS (from the Riverside Reader):
NARRATION AND DESCRIPTION Points to Remember
1. Focus your narrative on the “story” in your story— that is, focus on the conflict that defines the plot.
2. Vary the pace of your narrative so that you can summarize some events quickly and render others as fully realized scenes.
3. Supply evocative details to help your readers experience the dramatic development of your narrative.
4. Establish a consistent point of view so that your readers know how you have positioned yourself in you story.
5. Represent the events in you narrative so that you story makes its point.
