COM ON TIME FOR ATTENDANCE THEN WE WILL HEAD DOWN.
Ms. S
Hello 9s,
This is a quick recap of what we have been working on over the past two classes.
In keeping with our work on ‘micro fiction’ and close reading/writing, we have begun looking at 6 word stories.
We read the following:
- Ernest Hemmingway’s 6 word story with image
- A variety of 6 word stories by famous authors
- An invitation to novice writers to submit their own 6 word stories for possible publication
* You have noted which genre each story seems to be and have been able to tell us why you think so.
* You have noted how this type of work is open to multiple interpretations while it is NOT open to ALL interpretations.
* Like the other types of stories in this sub-genre of micro fiction , you note that the author invites the reader to share in creation/interpretation of the tale.
Now, you are writing 3 of your own 6 word stories. Due Wednesday January 9th.
- Each story is to be accompanied by either an image or a colour/texture to augment the intent of the tale. No text other than the story may be included.
- If you set it to music, the music must have no lyrics.
- If you choose to do it using the tool we have been working with here is the link to the online version (or you can use the free app):https://spark.adobe.com/ Feel free, however, to use PowerPoint or your own 2D artistic skills if you prefer.
- Please be careful to only use open source/free images and music you own. If you are using your own photos, please do not include images of others without their permission.
- Remember that every word counts; tone, mood, connotation, grammar, punctuation, even font style ought to be considered.
I am very much looking forward to these!
Finally, thank you for taking part in our secret pen pal activity. I think we will be carrying this into the new year. Stay tuned!
Have a happy restful weekend everyone.
Ms. S
