Consider the qualities of a "good story" that we came up with a few weeks ago:

A powerful hook (opening)

Characters that are interesting, relatable, funny/memorable, “round” / 3 dimensional, real

No unnecessary explaining (Show, don’t tell!)

Details (help us “see” the story)

Creative / Exciting Plot

Humor

Powerful word choice

A clear beginning, middle, and end

Logical flow of events

Setting that readers can submerse themselves in

Deeper meaning

Subtleties in meaning (not obvious message)

Mysterious elements of the plot

Characters and plot that feel real

1. Choose 3-5 of the bullet-pointed items above that you think you did well. Explain, including details from your narrative, how you were successful in those areas.

2. Next, choose 3-5 of the bullet-pointed items above that you think you could improve. Explain, including details from your narrative, how you could improve those areas.

3. On a scale of A-D (or No Credit), what grade would you give yourself?

4. Looking back on this unit, what are your proud of? What would you do differently next time?
