Historical Fiction Critique

Review:

  1. Short Story Rubric:  This is what you'll be graded on for your short story.  None of this should be a surprise!  We'll be critiquing for all these elements over the next four days, and we will spend time next week on proofreading.
  2. Critique Rubric:  That's right, I'm grading your critiques.  You will email your finished critique to Lori AND Stephen when finished.  We'll grade it using this rubric, and get it back to you.  If you get an A or a B on your Critique, you're done!  You don't have to resubmit.  If you receive less than a B, you will need to submit another critique from this week to Lori and Stephen.
  3. Critique Structure:  Every day, you will be critiquing one story.  I will assign you 1-2 categories from the handout that you MUST do.  If you have time remaining before break, you will do a 3rd aspect of your choice.  In the second half of class, you will revise and write!
Critique For:
See Critique handout linked above for details on exactly what you need to do for this.



  1. Plot
  2. Showing vs. Telling
Revise and Write!
