Characterization is an essential first step in writing a master work. Fiction writing, its introduction, overview, and application, challenges the brain to think critically, and forces the writer to rethink even the minor steps of fiction and NONfiction writing, from pacing, order, logic, even SENTENCE STRUCTURE.
The GOALS of this lesson and activity unit are: to recognize and write character well in a full scene, BUT ALSO to ultimately apply the knowledge of character in an analytical essay.
80 pages, a 3 PART, 7-week Master Course is that it is based on the premise that through the INTEGRATION of FICTION AND NONFICTION, writers of all stripes ultimately are stronger in BOTH.
Thoughtful, organized and complete, it begins with a glossary of terms, and then tackles essential writing information and application, through the lens of the first element of story, characterization. The information and activities prepare students for their final major writing projects: writing a character scene; and writing an analytical essay.
With lesson plans, common core standards, rubrics, assessments, and keys, all carefully organized. The work is CHALLENGING and FUN!
