*“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?
