Prewriting&BrainstormingA Lesson by Vria P Crow "Prewriting and Brainstorming is a technique writers use before they begin their prose or poetry." Prewriting and Brainstorming  Introduction Prewriting and Brainstorming is a technique writers use before they begin their prose or poetry. The above image was taken from the following website: Some writers use brainstorming "clouds" to organize their thoughts. However, you can also write down ideas in a journal or piece of paper. Directions Step 1: Select a short story of your own such as "A Moment in the Forest," or "A Tranquil Sight." Step 2: Fill out the following Prewriting and Brainstorming chart below: 1. TITLE 2. SETTING 3. GENRE 4. AIM 5. STORY LINE 6. CHARACTERS&ROLES 7. DILEMMA 8. TARGET AUDIENCE Below, I illustrated the deconstruction of my short story, "picture/house" that I am currently in the Revision and Editing process. EXAMPLE: 1. TITLE: picture/house 2. SETTING: Grandfather's farm 3. GENRE: Psychological Horror 4. AIM: (1) Why have I written this story? I wrote this story to explore my family history through a work of fiction. (2) What is the purpose of this story? The purpose of the story was to display what mental illness can produce influenced by vice. 5. STORY LINE: The overall storyline was about the protagonist's experience at her Grandmother Elle's Wake. 6. CHARACTERS&ROLE: (1) Grandfather: He was an alcoholic and abusive. (2) Elle: She was the protagonist's hateful "step" grandmother absorbed with her vanity. (3) Skelly: He was the protagonist's brother who served as a guide in the basement. (4) Aunt Grace: Aunt Grace was the melodramatic and MacBride Godmother of the speaker. (5) Pearl: She was the protagonist's birth mother depicted in the young girl. (6) Lenny: He was the protagonist's birth father, son of the Grandfather. (7) Young Girl: The young girl was unknown, but she appeared as a phantom in the basement. 7. DILEMMA: Overall, the dilemma or conflict was the protagonist's inner demons personified in the basement. 8. TARGET AUDIENCE: The target audience would be young adult and mature given the graphic content. I hope this will help you especially with prose. You will receive a private message that will contain the chart to fill out. The next lesson will describe the Writing Process. Thank you for participating in this Course! sincerely, ria   Comments |
