Today, if you have not yet completed these writing prompts, please do so:
1. The genre/trope story (see post, Thursday, May 10)
2. The personification writing exercise (see post, Friday, May 11)
3. The 15 sentence poem exercise (given to you in class on Wednesday & Thursday, May 16 & 17)
If you are ready to move on, please complete the following writing prompt:
A poem is single-spaced and generally written left-justified (not centered). It is broken into lines. Here's an example of the format.
A story (prose) uses normal fiction/non-fiction writing format. That is each paragraph is indented 1-tab or 5 spaces (use the tab key). Prose is written in complete sentences with end punctuation, indentation for each paragraph, and is double-spaced. Dialogue is separated by quotation marks. Each new speaker is given his/her own paragraph. Change paragraphs every time you start a new speaker's line of dialogue. Here's a sample prose format.
A script can be written in two ways. The easiest is to indicate the name of the character in BOLD, followed by a colon. The line of dialogue follows. A script is single-spaced, with a skipped line (hard return) after each character's line. It looks like this.
