Lesson Topic
Getting to know Chase and her writing
Lesson Outline
We briefly discussed Chase's "The Corn Field" story, as well as her overall writing process and whether she's a "plotter" or a "pantser," along with the benefits of each style. We also discussed Anne Lamott's "bird by bird" and "1-inch" picture frame advice for writers, as well as Stephen King's "The road to hell is paved with adverbs" admonition. We examined some sample sentences/descriptions and discussed why some were more effective than others. I also introduced four new vocabulary words that might be useful in describing characters, while also exploring how alternate methods of character development might supersede using strings of adjectives.
