University of Maine at Presque Isle Course Introduction to Creative Writing Milestone Outcome 5 The five critical elements of fiction
You have reached a Milestone Activity! Please be sure you complete the Personalized Lesson above before continuing.
Milestone Activities are important stops along your educational journey to check your progress towards mastering the competency and to get feedback and guidance from your tutorial faculty. Please note: You must complete this Milestone Activity before moving on in this competency.
Milestones ask questions that touch upon concepts covered in previous Learning Activities and provide you with the opportunity to see concepts from the perspective of experts in the field, your tutorial faculty. This Milestone Activity is not graded and will not impact your score on your Final Assessment; however, your response must score a “Proficient” or “Exemplary” on each criterion, listed in the rubric below, in order to access and submit your Final Assessment.
To complete this Milestone Activity, read the question below and then provide your response in the comment box. In order to score a “Proficient” or “Exemplary”, your response must be thoughtful and substantive, and you must reference or cite content from this competency. Your tutorial faculty will use the rubric to determine if your post shows the depth of thought required to successfully complete this Milestone. Let’s get started!
Note that this milestone has 3 submission elements--all elements must be submitted before instructor review.
Write, workshop, and submit a full-length short story. Create a 2,000-2,500 word short, narrative story which combines all the major elements of fiction noted in this unit. Be sure to use characters, dialogue, plot, pacing, tension, conflict, and resolution to show a truly engaging story for your reader.
Part 1: Workshop this draft with either a public workshop or a tutor and include a draft with verifiable commentary along
Part 2: Submit your final, polished draft as a Google Doc link, be sure that it is shared so that your instructor can comment.
Part 3: Be sure to write a few sentences for an artist statement about your fiction work.
