Checklist for FD Rat's POV

Before you turn in your FD tomorrow, make sure:

• Your story is very well proofread. It's always helpful to read it aloud to someone because then you can hear any errors you may have previously overlooked.
• You have an original title, not: Rat's POV.
• Your name, period, and date are in the upper right hand corner.
• Your pages are stapled together.
• You have paragraphed! I won't accept any unparagraphed pieces of writing.
• You've described incidents and characters vividly.
• You've indented every single time a new character speaks.
• You've kept your tenses consistent. Most often, using the past tense works best.

Note: 

For Wednesday night's HW, do the triangle we did in class for #6 instead of what it says in the book for #6. It's the same idea, but I want you to learn the plot triangle you copied from the smart board in class.

Exposition is the same as the basic situation;
don't forget your three complications!
