Narrative Writing - The Second Draft

Hello Team,

We have now finished the editing phase of your narrative writing. The comments should provide information to enhance vocabulary, add enriching detail considering multiple senses, and focus your moral.

You will go though your draft and make the changes that you agree with and truly believe will enhance your story.

Although your editor took a great deal of time to provide critical editing of your story, the final decesion rests on you the writer. You must write what you are confident is your best work and best reflects you as an author. Thus, it is okay to not use your editors suggestions.

As well, you will also take a few moments looking for two additional images that you want to use in your story that will compliment and flow with the original image and your story. The search will take time to find the best image to suit your story.

You will then need to work on layout design in your word document to incorporate the editing in text and the inclusion of two powerful images.

As well we have learned about ourselves as we have read through the events of Sean and David. each moment revealing something about our morals and values.

Now David's fate will be revealed. Recall how many predicted and believed that David would walk again, this is now seemingly unlikely.

Rebound - The Cliff / Visualization

Rebound Visualization Assignment:

Design and sketch the scene at the warehouse and cliff as Sean looks for David. The characters are not essential in the sketch but a vivid and detailed sketch is. Consider the warehouse, fence, path, shrubs, glistening metal when making your design.

Recall that visualization is one of the essential reading strategies. In this assignment you are using your imagination to fill in and expand uponthe basic details provided by the author. This gives the chapter vibrant energy and makes you a more engaged reader.

Begin with a rough sketch and plan in your scrapbook, then get your planned checked by Mr. Cheney. Do your good copy on cardstock, consider framing your finished product.
