06.02 Practice Draft

*review the 6.03 module before writing this practice draft.

Please draft and write your rough draft based on the 6.03 lesson and rubric here. You will be able to revise your draft 3 times and get instant feedback based on the rubric! Because I will be scoring your one final draft submission, with no option to redo/retry for higher points, it is in your best interest to use this program in order to revise your rough draft multiple times in order to write the best final draft you can. Do not copy and paste anything into this assignment or use any outside resources. To receive full credit, you must score at least an 80/100. Once you see your score, please screenshot that page and submit that picture to Canvas for credit.

If you'd like, you can also make an appointment with me to review the rough draft before submitting your final draft. However, you must have submitted at least once through Class Companion before scheduling a meeting with me.

The Final Draft

Include the final draft of your historical fiction narrative below. Use this checklist to be sure you have included all required elements:

• a well-organized plot that provides artistic unity
• an exposition that introduces a protagonist and a setting

• a climax in which the protagonist decides how to resolve their conflict
• falling action that reveals what happens after the protagonist’s decision
• a resolution that reveals a universal theme
• a development of multiple perspectives through the use of at least two narrative techniques (description, dialogue, flashback, foreshadowing, juxtaposition, pacing, or stream of consciousness)

Answer the following questions in complete sentences. Please number your responses below.
