Recap: We've finally reached the unit most of you have been waiting for: FICTION! Our imaginations are about to go wild, so I hope you're getting those creative wheels turning!
To being, we reviewed a Power Point from ReadWriteThink.org on the Elements of Fiction. While many of these terms are ones we have covered, they are in a different context when it comes to writing fiction as opposed to just reading it. How do you even create a character? There are different types?! These are all questions that will be answered this week.
We reviewed the elements today, and will be discussing the different genres tomorrow. There are about 10 genres recognized in fiction, but innumerable sub-genres under them. I hope to be able to cover at least all of the main categories with you, as you've voiced that your preferences are across the board.
Tomorrow we will begin discussing how to create characters, as well, and begin reading several short pieces. Especially in shorter fiction, having well-rounded and developed characters is crucial, because without them, the story would be quite dull.
Nice work today! It's nice to be back with you. Have a nice night!
