Today we worked on Lesson 11 - Revising a Character's Voice, and Lesson 12 - Playing with Perspective. First we thought of a phrase that our characters might use frequently, and we played with putting it in various places in our stories. Then we went back and revised dialogue in previous journal entries to make sure it's consistent with our character's personality. Afterwards, we had some fun with a "funky" object in the middle of the room. We looked at it from different perspectives, and applied this lesson to our writing. We then wrote our prompt: Reread the events in your rising action. Describe one of the events of rising action from a different character's (bystander, relative, friend) perspective.

What a week - full of writing and revising our short stories!!!
