March 10

Today we did a sheet on "dependent clauses" and another "identifying run-ons and fragments". After this, there was time to work on the Dystopian stories. The first presentation will have to be on Thursday, as not all of them will fit on one day. The Short Story Unit Final Exam will be tomorrow. It will require you to know terms and the names and characters in many of the short stories we read this term.
Also you may need to know the following:

• A story of Plot is a story where you just want to find out the end; it has plenty of twists and turns and suspense, etc.; detective and adventure stories are usually stories of plot
• A story of Character is a story which focuses on some trait or peculiarity in one of the main characters and the plot is largely about how this affects the character or changes them etc.; it usually has some internal struggle but can also include external struggle as well.
• A story of Setting is one where the setting plays a major part in the story, ie., as the antagonist; it is often full of "local colour"; more time is spent on the setting than on the characters or plot.
• There is no such thing as a story of theme.
