Writing on the CAASP

• You may be asked to do various writing tasks, we will go over some examples of writing questions to see the various things you may be asked to do!

Beginning, Continuing, or Finishing a Narrative

• You may be asked to "Write an introduction to the narrative that sets up the action to come." This means you need to start the story in a way that MAKES SENSE. If your story is about a character going to school, you may want to start it with them waking up and eating breakfast, not fighting Batman.

Beginning, Continuing, or Finishing a Narrative

• You may be asked to "​Continue the narrative by writing one to three paragraphs that help readers better understand the central conflict of the story." This means you are going to take the MAIN ISSUE or MAIN PROBLEM the main character is facing, and continue to develop it in 1-3 paragraphs but NOT solve it. When it says write 1-3 paragraphs, this means a MINIMUM OF 3-5 sentences per paragraph.

Beginning, Continuing, or Finishing a Narrative

• You may be asked to "​conclude the narrative by writing one to three paragraphs that help readers better understand the central conflict of the story." This means you are going to take the MAIN ISSUE or MAIN PROBLEM the main character is facing, and SOLVE IT in a logical manner within 1-3 paragraphs. When it says write 1-3 paragraphs, this means a MINIMUM OF 3-5 sentences per paragraph. In a logical manner means IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE.

Dialogue

• You may also be asked to include or write dialogue for a narrative.

• Dialogue occurs when CHARACTERS SPEAK and it looks like this: "Do you need me to walk you to the car?" Touka asked. "I can walk on my own," Kaneki replied. "Thank you very much."

PRACTICE TIME!

• On the next slide, you will practice making dialogue or figuring out what characters say! Good Luck!

• 
  

Students, this is the final activity! Write in the chat what dialogue you think should come next!
