Today, I reviewed how to do well on questions being handed in, we discussed the short story "The Rabbit", you finished a personality profile on your main character for a short story you will be developing, and I handed out the short story "On the Sidewalk Bleeding". This is to be read before tomorrow's class. You also have to fill in a characterization chart on the story's protagonist for tomorrow. If you were not here, the story and the chart are in your portfolio. Come in at lunch or in the morning to get them.
How to do Well on Questions You Hand in
1. Make sure you have put the names (first and last), Class, and date in the “header” (upper right hand corner).
2. Make sure you have a title that explains what these answers are. (“The Rabbit” Answers)
3. Make sure you show that the name of the short story is indicated by putting it in quotation marks!!!
4. Be sure to centre and bold your title
5. Be sure that your writing is in Times New Roman, 12 point font (ALL OF IT…EVEN THE TITLE!!!!)
6. Put a number on the answers
7. Capitalize the words in the title that are important and/or have more than two letters
“The Rabbit” Discussion
The protagonist is in the story throughout (so, if they are not there in the expository or are gone before the climax… they are probably not the protagonist!)
Look for the “what is the problem” (conflict)?
Look for “who is causing the problem…” (the antagonist)?
