WIR2 Homework – Week 26
(as listed on the schedule in your book)
Homework due March 27th includes the following:
1. Complete - All assignments through those listed for Week 26 above and on the schedule in your book.
2. Continue to work on the map you started last week in 13.7.
3. Think of the villains in stories you are familiar with. Fill out the chart in 13.8. Then start filling in the chart of characters for your own story. Note that they can be human, animal, or fantastical creatures.
4. Watch the videos below on creating a setting and making a fantasy map for your story.
5. Find - This unit frequently refers to The Hobbit for a model. If you don't have a copy of this at home, try to borrow one, or check it out from the library.
Notes:
This week, your homework focuses on developing the characters and plot for your story. As with the setting of your story, you can continue to develop and make changes to your characters as you continue to work on your story.
As we discussed in class this week, the key to creating believable characters is to get to know them as you would a friend. Pretend you are interviewing your characters. Ask them key questions to learn more about their likes and dislikes, hopes and fears, what they love and what they hate. Where did they come from, and what are their hopes for the future. The better you can answer these questions, the more real your characters will become.
I have included several videos below to help you. Be sure to take the time to watch them when you can. The last video, Five basic Elements of fiction is a little longer. Pay attention as you watch it. It covers all the elements you will be working on as you continue to write your story.
Did you find a copy of The Hobbit to read or listen to on audio? Remember, you will need a physical to study the maps and drawings in the book.
If you haven't yet, locate, borrow or check out from the library a few of the books listed on pages 365-366 to read and study over spring break. To be a good writer, you must read good literature.
Have you decided who you are writing your story for? Remember, knowing your audience will help you to be a better writer.

5 Basic Elements of Fiction
"It gives me great pleasure, a good name. I always in writing start with a name. Give me a name and it produces a story, not the other way about normally."
