Skills 18.1
In this Chapter the Authors start by explaining the difference between a narrative story and an and then chronology. In their description they say that both a story and chronology depict events as they happen in time, but thats where the similarity ends and a story evolves and becomes something more by exploring more than just the depiction of the events.
They list 4 criteria for a "story": Depiction of events Through time, Connectedness, Tension, and Resolution. The first two Criteria are often found in chronology and story, while the other two are what separate the two. They go into further depth over the four criteria. They use references and draw back to the stories in the book we read for class and used them for examples as they explain each of the four parts and how they all fit together. For the connectedness section they talk how the in the story they fit in better and more thematic while in the chronology it is basically just sequentially and in a chronological order rather than in what order works best for explaining the story.
Hi Braden,
ReplyDeleteYou've done a pretty decent job of keeping up with the responses, but you do seem to be slipping a bit at this point. We're getting to the mid-semester slump, so it may be harder to try and keep up with these journal responses, but I strongly suggest that you do so - you will be surprised how much these journal entries will impact your grade at the end of the semester. The easiest thing to do will be to not worry about past readings you've missed, but rather start from this point and just keep up with them. Remember the purpose of these responses is to help you prepare for class, making sure you've done the reading and synthesized it by writing about it. So make sure you post your journal responses before class, not after, in order to get credit for them.
These responses that you have been doing are quite good, though, so just keep going on that track and keep up with the reading assignments for the rest of the semester!
Thanks,
Rebecca
