    Crafting Practice Exercises

    Pick one of the following to spin your yarn; keep in mind the elements of literature we have been discussing! Develop your characters and remember to show, not just tell, their stories.

    1. High School Drama: Imagine a day in the life of a high school teen. What story (lesson) do they learn that needs to be told?

    2. Momma Drama: Imagine a day in the life of a mom (or dad); what story (lesson) do they learn that needs to be told?

    3. Love Potion Number 9: What lesson in love can you give to a friend?

    We have looked more carefully at what makes a short story work and why we have short stories. We used literary elements to practice creating our own short stories. Now we will look at poetry!
