Hello Fictionistas 9.3.13
Today (9.3.13) you:
Stood up, found new people, read each other’s pieces. Asked the author 3 questions about the piece in hand. Got each other's contact info (actually this was at the end of class)--these are your current peer partners.
Found and underlined a line or two that struck you as either representative of the piece, or as too good not to read.
Told us why.
Turned in the pieces you had written for today.
Talked briefly about “The Thirteenth Woman” and “Fat.” Glossed those stories.
GLOSS—to briefly summarize a piece of fiction while noting remarkable features and providing salient information about the techniques involved in creating the overall effect of the story.
Plotted the story based on the activities/nonactivities of the protagonist.
For Thursday 9.5.13:
DIALOGUE exercise: Write in play form (all dialogue, no description-- i.e. Jack: blahblahblah. Jill: etcetera.) a back and forth between 2 characters where one is attempting to get information and the other does not want to give it.
I didn't talk about it in class--but if you could please read (in the glossary section of Making Shapely Fiction) CHARACTER, DIALOGUE, SCENE.
Read “The Use of Force” by W. C. Williams: http://www.classicshorts.com/stories/force.html
On Thursday Jacqui, Andrew, Jon, Sarah, and Caitlin will be turning in 17 copies of their pieces to be workshopped on 9.10.13.
For Tuesday 9.10.13
1st set of Peer Partner presentations (please bring 2 copies of your gloss/thoughts/questions--one for me one for your partner).
