Writing Portfolio: We worked on adding another scene to the short stories. The scene should either precede or come after one of the two alternate scenes you already wrote. Remember, a story is characters trying to make decisions about how to get out of a problem.
We discussed the importance of not letting action drive a story, but instead letting character and problems (conflict) be central. One way to do this is to limit a scene to one location and short period of time. This will help you avoid the temptation to say "and then, and then, and then."
After a brief introduction to New Imperialism, we began watching the video of Gandhi. Students are taking notes.
Homework: Family Past (all prewriting due Thursday)
