What makes a story?Slide18
How do we make stories?
1. Initiate: present an idea, object, or image, call attention to a detail or phenomenon, notice something
2. Generate
lots of content:
ask questions
, brainstorm, word associat
ion
, synonyms and antonyms,
think of the component parts and processes
3. Categorize
& organize ideas:
find similarities and differences in meaning, connotation, texture, chronology, look for patterns,
4. Put
things in a
meaningful
order
: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution.Slide19
