Day 2 and 3 Student Directions

PStudent Directions for Part 2 (~70 minutes)


You will now review your sources, take notes, and plan, draft, revise, and edit your story.  You may use your notes and refer to the sources.  Now read your assignment and the information about how your story will be scored; then begin your work.


Your Assignment:

It is now time to write the science fiction story that you will share with your creative writing club.  You have decided to write a multi-paragraph story about a robot that all of a sudden comes alive.  Tell the story of what happens.  Make sure you develop your characters, setting, and plot using details, dialogue, and description where appropriate.  When developing your story, use the source materials to inform and strengthen your writing.


Narrative Scoring

How your essay will be scored:  The people scoring your essay will be assigning scores for

   1.  Narrative focus - how well you maintain your focus, and establish a setting, narrator and/or characters, and point of view

   2.  Organization - how well the events logically flow from beginning to end using effective transitions and how well you stay on topic throughout the essay

   3.  Elaboration of narrative - how well you elaborate with details, dialogue, and description to advance the story or illustrate the experience

   4.  Language and Vocabulary - how well you effectively express experiences or events using sensory, concrete, and figurative language that is appropriate for your purpose

5.  Conventions - how well you follow the rules of usage, punctuation, capitalization, and spelling


Now begin work on your story.  Manage your time carefully so that you can:
  • plan your multi-paragraph story
  • write your multi-paragraph story on MyAccess using the provided prompt
  • revise and edit the final draft of your multi-paragraph story


For part 2, you are being asked to write a multi-paragraph story, so please be as thorough as possible.  Remember to check your notes and your prewriting/planning as you write and then revise and edit your story.
