Unit: Creative Writing ("How do our decisions affect ourselves and others?") - Short Story Writing
Introduction:
- Watch these short films by Pixar as inspiration to writing your short stories. How do they grab your attention right from the start? What elements make them effective? How is the plot developed? What is the conflict?
"Geri's Game"
"Pigeon: Impossible"
Activities:
- As a class, look at the "Writing a Short Story" package, focussing on "Ping Pong Dialogue vs. Descriptive Dialogue" and on "You Talkin' to Me? What are the Rules for Quotation Marks?"
- Students continue writing their short story. By the end of today, you should have a revision pretty much completed.
