Creating and Presenting

Style: Imaginative

Purpose and Audience:

What is this writing piece trying to achieve? It must have a goal and an intended audience. Importantly, it must be addressing issues of identity and belonging and closely addressing the prompt, interpreted in your own way.

Form: - Short story - Personal recount - Diary entry - Letter - Media article (newspaper or magazine)

Language: - What narrative voice will you use? (first, third person?) Why? - What will be the tone of the narrator? (e.g. the narrator in Sticks and Stones and Manhood was quite self-deprecating. The narrator in Relative Advantages was quite blunt and rude) What effect does this create? - Will you be using any figurative language such as metaphor? (such as the buffalo in the Water Buffalo) - Will you be using dialogue? - Will you be using humour? What is the effect of this? (The narrator in Manhood uses humour to help the reader to see the funny side of his awkwardness, although it also makes us feel a bit sorry for him.) - Are there any other interesting language techniques you will be using? (the narrator in Sticks and Stones uses a lot of Indian vernacular to describe things, demonstrating that he is a product of two cultures.) - Will there be a twist at the end? (Sticks and Stones and Manhood both contain a twist that leaves the reader thinking long after they put the story down.)
