Due on Tuesday, 1/21/14
1. Complete the empty chart I gave you for the plot line of your story. This will be a loose outline without a lot of details, but it should contain several examples of complications you plan to include in the story, what you intend the climax to be, and how you plan to wrap up the story. You will turn this in to me on Tuesday.
2. After you have completed your chart (of the plot line) and have a sense of where it is going, continue with your mystery story, adding vignettes (separated by 3 asterisks) until you have at least 5 full double-spaced typewritten pages. This will be your G1 (the first graded part) for this paper.
3. Proofread your story so far. (These five pages are your G1, even though the story is not necessarily finished.) Make sure there are no errors that you can find.
4. Print your five pages and have someone who is not a current Creative Writing student proofread your story, writing their suggestions for improvement directly on the copy you printed out. Have them sign the top of the first page, near your header, to indicate that they proofread it and made note of any errors they found.
5. Make the necessary changes that your proofreader suggested.
6. Email the proofread, corrected copy of your five pages to me at my Markup address before Tuesday.
PLEASE NOTE (FAQs):
+ There is no fixed length requirement for your completed mystery story. You must accomplish everything that is listed on the grading rubric I gave you for the mystery story, and you must do so within 5-25 pages. In other words, your story must be at least 5 full typewritten pages, and it may not be any longer than 25 full typewritten pages, when it is finally finished.
+ You must use standard 12-point font (Times or Arial), standard 1-inch margins, standard paragraph indentions, and standard double-spacing for your paper. Do not attempt to meet the various length requirements as we go along by making the paper "look longer" (or "look shorter"!) by adjusting your margins, changing your font, increasing or decreasing your font size, etc.
+ You are only required to add as much to your story for Tuesday as is listed above for the G1 (five full typewritten pages). However, if you want to write more, you may do so.
+ You may add, delete, or change things in your plan for your story at any time as you go along.
+ You are not "locked in" to what you put on your plot line chart. That chart is to assist you in thinking through and planning out your story. Don't feel bound by it.
+ You may call, text, or email me any time with questions. If I don't respond right away, I will do so as soon as possible. Don't be afraid to try again if you don't hear from me in a timely fashion or if you're still confused.

Also (daily):
+ Read your (approved) book for pleasure 30 minutes daily. Mark it on your reading log as you go along. The January reading log is due, signed by a parent, on Thursday, January 30, 2014.
+ Review daily the material from our writing and grammar lessons in class so that you can more easily learn and memorize (as we go along) the different things we are studying. Be ready for a quiz anytime on all that we've learned so far.
