Recap: We briefly touched on genres today, as I would like to be able to have at least one piece of writing that fits each category by the end of this unit. I also want you to have an understanding of genre vs. sub-genre.
A list of the genres can be found here, and a list of some of the sub-genres can be found here.
We then began discussion characterization. Since characters are the driving force in most writing, it is imperative that you create well-rounded and well-developed characters. Without them, you're story will be boring, and the reader will quickly lose interest. Most of you stated upon finishing this activity that you were unaware of how much thought and insight was really needed to create a character.
If you missed today, please see the Character Development page that has been shared with you. I also want you to begin considering characters you would like to create, keeping in mind the 5 key necessary details that you must use to create them.
Tomorrow we will begin reading short fiction stories, particularly noting how the characters are described.
Have a nice evening!
