personal+writing+assessments

I am sorry if this looks scary – promise it isn’t anything you haven’t done before! That is, there is nothing new or unexpected. Most of you will have done this writing in class and some of you have even typed it out and put it in your shared folder. Remember that you can use some of this work also for your Learning Portfolio. I will take a number of drafts Remember this is an essay not a report and therefore there should be no headings. The essay should flow smoothly and form a circle, that is, the conclusion flows back to restate the introduction points. Cert 3 students are to include 2 references in their essay Cert 3 students discuss if you think the story is successful. Look at the following: rhythm, language and imagery (metaphors, similes…) Character Plot Tension Is the story: Realistic / believable / interesting? What makes it so? Discuss why you think the author wrote the story. Was it for; suspense, mystery, fun, a comment on society, a slice of life etc? Are there messages and meanings under the surface? When you have analysed the story thoroughly present the following information for assessment: ·  Write a brief summary of the plot ·  Write a character sketch of the main person in the story ·  Write your thoughts on the story as a whole and ·  Draw comparisons /similarities to another short story My childhood garden/ games Animals My Fridge – personification Stream of consciousness- fear, belonging, connections, bullying A simple mistake Other topics will include: sci fi & fantasy, thrillers, history/ period writing
