  1. Write a Short Story Edge pp. 471-482 Wilson

  2. Short Stories • Short stories are narratives about imaginary people, places, and events. • Writers use vivid details and dialogue to bring the characters and conflicts to life.

  3. Short Story Form • 2 or more characters: protagonist and antagonist • Protagonist faces a conflict; leads to complications • The plot (sequence of events) rises to the climax (turning point) • The conflict is resolved

  4. Interior Monologue • Along with dialogue, a writer may use interior monologue, passages that let readers “hear” the characters thoughts.

  5. Analyze a professional model • Turn to p. 473 in your Edge textbook. • Read Please Stand By. Look for ways the writer builds suspense. • What was the surprise ending?

  6. Writing prompt • Write a suspenseful story with a surprise ending. • Make sure you include: • Characters’ actions, dialogue, and interior monologue • A beginning, middle, and end • Rising action, climax, and falling action • A surprise ending

  9. REVISE YOUR DRAFT • Read your work carefully. • Make sure your ideas about characters, conflict, plot, and other details progress in a logical way (the order makes sense). • Use transitions words (then, next, furthermore). • Use the rubric on p. 479 to evaluate your organization. • Use the checklist on p. 480 to revise your rough draft.
