15 Aug Project A: Story Installment 2
1. Create a story in which you implement some of the following topics ( at least 7)…
· audience, premise, and theme (Check your process for audience, premise, and theme: In what ways are you still relating to your audience? Are you still following your premise? How is your theme manifesting?)
· central conflict (think: midterm)
· symbolism and motif
· suspending disbelief
· additional obstacles, tests, or trials
· tricksters
· reversal and recognition
· climax (like the final exam)
· rebirth
· dénouement
2. If you’re not using some of these topics in your story, you must state “I am not using this in my story”
3. Using the list of topics above, justify how you will employ each in the construction process for your narrative.
4. Research at least one scholarly article relating to one or more of the topics listed above within the context of your major. In a paragraph or two, describe how the information in the article is beneficial to your process as a storyteller. Use proper MLA in-text citation. Create an MLA-style bibliographic entry for your source at the end of the document. Navigate this site to learn about where to find appropriate sources, and how to evaluate and employ them in your document.
5. To format the document, do the following:
- Include a left-justified MLA heading that includes your name, your professor’s name, the course, and the due date.
- Include a centered title.
- The body of the document will use paragraphs to discuss each of the unit topics, a. – i. Depending upon the scope and balance of your ideas, you might be able to group a few of the Unit topics into one paragraph. If you do, use guiding topic sentences that state the topics you will discuss in the paragraph.
- Feel free to use left-justified section headings if the headings will help you to stay organized.
- Create a separate paragraph(s) to discuss the scholarly article.
- Place the bibliographic entry and word count at the end of the document. The word count will include the entire document.
