Objective:  I can use narrative techniques, such as dialogue, pacing, description, reflection, and multiple plot lines, to develop experiences, events, and/or characters (W11-12.3b) for a fully developed Dystopia or Horror story.
Agenda:

• Entry Task: Get your Chromebook and consider your Dystopia and Horror Brainstorm.  If you have already begun a story you are proud of and would like to continue writing, please do so.  
  
• If not, consider all of the stories and poems we have attempted and select one to develop fully in the next two class periods.  Select one and get to work. Keep in mind what you can accomplish with the time you have left.

  • Inspiration from Dystopia brainstorm handout
    
  • Dystopia by Josh Gibbens Dystopia poem
    
  • Writing Topic:  “A dystopian government oppresses its people by silencing the voice in their heads at birth, so everyone must literally think out loud.  After a horrific motor vehicle accident and months in a coma, you wake to find that you are now the only individual whose thoughts are private” (JolyGram-Instagram).

Exit Task:  Review the short story rubric that will be used to score your writing.  Self-assess your writing so far on the paper copy provided.  What will you need to do to finish your story or poem in the next class period.  Do you need to work on it during your own time?
