The anecdote is a single, most important scene. Think of it as the main scene of the "mini-movie" of the story you are trying to tell. It's the moment where the important, meaningful action is taking place. It can be one paragraph, or several paragraphs long, but it is only one moment....and time-wise, shouldn't be more than an hour of life...if it spans more than that in time...your audience will get bored.
Today we will start by going over the dialog punctuation quizzes.
The rest of the day will be spent typing the body of your narrative essay. Work especially on exploding the moment, and adding as many sensory details as possible.
Homework: finish typing your anecdote. Email or transport your files from home.
