Wednesday, May 13 Agenda

*“Raven” (while listening, check rhymes and alliteration notes)
*On a sheet of paper to turn in:
*“plot” of poem
*Gothic characteristics
*Pit and the Pendulum” pg 230 Not due until end of tomorrow!
*Read. While reading, identify 6 most important scenes and draw them (like a six frame comic) or explain them in extreme detail *due at the end of work time tomorrow*
*Gothic Story: explanation, brainstorm then start draft if you would like tonight, need to have a draft for reading aloud on Friday (beginning of the hour) so you should at least know what you are writing about by the beginning of class tomorrow

*Writer’s Workshop on Gothic Fiction: First draft due beginning of hour Friday. Second draft due to me by the end of work time Friday, final draft due Wednesday –I will check in a conference if you sign up during work time
*Write a gothic tale with a gothic setting –a potentially isolated setting where grotesque, unusual, and mysterious things happen: a story of terror(but not necessarily gore or horror), suspense, mystery and the supernatural (also think insanity)
*Can be all of the above, or a combination of some of them
*Make your reader feel as if they are there using sensory details –see, hear, taste, touch, smell
*Don’t simply retell a scary story you know; think of an original, terrifying, suspenseful story
*Where set? –is it scary, can it become scary?
*How will you create suspense?
*Who are your characters? What point of view?
