For our first quiz, expect two parts: a mix and match section on the five terms presented in the Writing Basics power point, and two questions about the Sentence Style lecture.
Writing Basics:
Plot: what happens in a story
Character: the people in the story
Theme: the meaning of a story
Conflict, crisis, resolution: the arc of a story's plot
Point of view: third person or first person perspective
Sentence Style
Expect a question on passive voice in which you will be asked to change a sentence from passive voice to active voice.
For example, the passive voice "The White House was told about the problem," could be changed to "The press told the White House about the problem."
Also expect to break a run on sentence which expresses too many thoughts into a few smaller sentences.
For example, "I like to ride my motorcycle when it is nice and yesterday I went to the bank but I need some more chips also," could be changed to, "I like to ride my bike when it is nice. Yesterday I went to the bank but it was too cold to ride my bike. Today I need to get some more chips."
