5/8/2014- Avoiding Wordiness in Writing

I can write using sensory details.

Intro to Creative Writing- Brainstorming

Today we are working on coming up with story ideas and getting rid of the extra fluff. They say you should write about what you know, so we thought of 6 possible life events that we could write about. Below you will see the worksheet that we did. Fill it out to think about events you may want to write about. 

Now don't you fret, not everything you write has to be a true story. It does however need to be well written.

Avoiding Wordiness in Writing

In class we wrote text message length stories. Texts only have 160 characters, so you have to focus on the most important events. Look at the PowerPoint below and then write your own very short story. Bring your story to me when you get back and I will check it off.
