If you finish early, you have 2 options to complete:
1. Continue with the second part of this project.
- Wait until your required partner is done with his/her draft. Both partners should be done before you move on to the next part of this assignment. If your partner is NOT DONE, spend your time on the grammar videos below.
- WHEN YOUR PARTNER HAS COMPLETED A DRAFT, get together in the following pairs:
- Tyshay & Mitchell
- Aleah & Jacob
- Saisha & Izzy
- Austin & Jamee
- Justice & Radezia
- Josh & Tyshon
- Grace,Yasmine, & Karlamarie (Grace read Yasmine, Yasmine read Karla Marie's, Karlamarie read Grace's story)
- Share your story with your partner. Each partner should read the draft.
- Acting as an expert (you can create a fictional name and title for yourself as an expert analyst or literary critic) you are to write a short commentary about your partner's story. Use J.K. Rowling's Tales of Beedle the Bard as an example or model (the Dumbedore sections).
- In your commentary discuss:
- The significance of the story. Why is this story an important one? For example why is your partner's fictional story an important one for future readers to read? You can make up any details you think make for a good reason. You can also refer to the story directly.
- Important characters, settings, or actions that occur in the story, and what their meaning or significance is. If an element of the story is unclear or mysterious, try to explain what the author meant. Don't ask the author, make up any details you think is necessary to sound like an expert on the subject.
- Explain the moral or message of the story. Again, don't ask the author, but explain what you think is the message or moral of the story.
- When you have completed your commentary, proofread and print out your commentary, then attach it to the original story draft and turn in.
