Things I noticed Commendations: • • Mondhan for her organization! Joy for her Questions Jazmeen for her Free Writes Piaja & Medjine for their Voice Worries • Some are not looking at the rubric • Clear that Pace and Anecdote are weaknesses
PACE Upping the Pace: Make the reader want to go on to the next page to see what happens • Fast action and rapid sequencing- Short transitions in between scenes Big plot moments one right after the other Less Description • Time Jumping— Spanning several days or years in a short section of the novel • Cliffhangers— leaving parts out to be picked up in the next scene
PACE Slowing It Down: passages that contain a great deal of detail to establish scenes and build suspense • Containing longer sentences, paragraphs and chapters Feels slower than other parts of the story Sets tone & mood Allows for character development & symbol • Switching the narrative's focus to another subplot Allows the reader to catch his breath between visceral action sequences.
