Writing Workshop 4 (continued)
Character’s Name
Drafting
6. Refer to Asimov’s story and your class-constructed model story, your notes, and your graphic organizers as you and your partner draft an opening to your story together. You might begin in the middle of the action or begin with dialogue between two characters, or you might have another opening in mind.
7. Join another partner pair to share and respond to ideas for refining your story opening. Mark the draft, and take good notes so you will remember what you discuss.
8. Use your models and your notes while you and your partner continue drafting your story. Don’t be afraid to change your original plot line, as long as you and your partner agree.
9. With your other partner pair, share and respond to ideas for refining the middle of your story. Remember to take good notes.
10. Reread the endings of your model stories. With your partner, draft an ending for your story.
Revising
11. With your other partner pair, share and respond to ideas for refining your story’s ending. Again, take good notes.
