What Students Need to Do

Students find dialogue, pacing, description, reflection, and event order in stories and explain what each one adds. They use selected techniques to build clear, engaging scenes in their own writing.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

Students can mark a specific technique in a passage and explain its effect on plot, character, mood, or pacing. Their own scene uses purposeful details and stays consistent in sequence, tense, and point of view.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name dialogue or description without explaining how it shapes the scene. They may overuse dialogue, add unrelated details, summarize key moments, or shift tense and point of view.
