Dialogue

Scriptwriting TipsAs you write your script, ask yourself the following

questions:

• Is the dialogue believable? In other words, does it sound

natural?

• Is the dialogue consistent with the personality and

character of the person speaking it? In other words, does

it sound like something that particular person would say?

• What message is communicated through the character’s

words? Is this the message you want to communicate?

Symbolism Projection Master #1Matoa’s Mirror


Symbolism

A symbol is anything that stands for or

represents something beyond itself. An author

may use a real thing – an object, person, event,

etc. – to represent an idea or to communicate

a message.

= Love

How can you tell whether or not something in a

story has a symbolic meaning?

Symbolism Projection Master #2Matoa’s Mirror


Symbolism in “Matoa’s Mirror”

“ ‘Mami, I’m just going to a party. Give me a

break, willya?’ Kenny said, turning his

back on her to comb his hair at the cracked

mirror. He moved his head until he found an

angle from which it wasn’t split by the

crooked line that ran across the mirror

like a winding road on a map.” p. 83

As you read “Matoa’s

Mirror”, notice the

author’s repeated use of

mirrors. What might the

mirror represent in the

passage above? What

might the crack in the

mirror symbolize?

Writing a Speech Projection MasterMatoa’s Mirror


Writing a Speech

A speech can be informative, persuasive,

entertaining, or a little of each. What should

Kenny’s speech be?

A speech contains three sections:

The introduction is the beginning of the speech. It

must catch the audience’s attention. Reciting a

quote, asking a question, telling a funny story, or

presenting an amazing fact or statistic, are all great

ways to start a speech.

The body is the middle and main part of the speech.

Here you develop your main ideas – ideas that

contribute to the topic of your speech. Supporting

details for each idea must also be stated here.

The conclusion, the end of the speech, is sometimes

the only part the audience remembers. Make it

strong, clear, and memorable.

Voice Projection Master #1Don José of La Mancha


Voice is the narrator’s manner of speaking. It

includes the narrator’s perspective on the events he

or she is telling. The narrator may or may not have a

strong personality. The narrator may have a

character’s voice, or even the author’s voice.

To discover the narrator’s voice ask questions

such as

• Who is telling the story?

• What is the narrator like? For example, is

the voice friendly or impersonal? Is the

voice friendly or serious?

• Does the author seem to be speaking

through the narrator?

Voice Projection Master #2Don José of La Mancha


What words would you use to describe the voice of the narrator

in the following passage from “Don José of La Mancha”?

“Saturday night

television is crap. It’s

either sports or old

movies. I try to watch

Bette Davis being a

witch and getting

away with it, but she

goes soft over a guy.

It’s hard to believe

some of the things

people say and do in

these old films: the

world simply stops

when they fall in love,

and all they think

about is how to get the

other person to love

them back.”p. 101

Writing an Opinion Projection MasterDon José of La Mancha


Writing an Opinion

An opinion is not a fact. It is a judgment or

evaluation made after making observations and

examining the facts.

To express an opinion:

1) State your opinion in a sentence.

2) Give supporting details for your opinion.

Choose 3 to 4 details that matter the most.

3) Use transition words while writing the

supporting details. These are words that link the

supporting details to the opinion, such as

“because,” “then,” or “since.”

4) Write a conclusion. This may be a summary of

your main points.

Foreshadowing Projection MasterA Job for Valentín

Foreshadowing

All manner of people grew interested in Kino –

people with things to sell and people with favors to

ask. Kino had found the Pearl of the World. The

essence of pearl mixed with essence of men and a

curious dark residue precipitated. Every man

suddenly became related to Kino’s pearl, and Kino’s

pearl went into the dreams, the speculations, the

schemes, the plans, the futures, the wishes, the

needs, the lusts, the hungers, of everyone, and only

one person stood in the way and that was Kino, so

that he became curiously every man’s enemy. The

news stirred up something infinitely black and evil

in the town…

Figurative Language Projection MasterHome to El Building


Figurative Language

Writer use figurative language when they describe

things by making unusual comparisons. This type of

language helps readers to create mental images as

they read. Here are a few kinds of figurative

language used in An Island Like You.

A simile compares two things in a phrase

introduced by “like” or “as.” For example,

“The sea was as smooth as glass.”

A metaphor also compares two things, but it does

not contain the words “like” or “as.” For example,

“His mind was a swirling whirlwind.”

Personification gives human attributes to an animal

or an object. For example, “The wind howled

angrily and threw itself against our house

with all of its strength.”

Personal Narrative Assignment

Did you continue to feel like an outsider? Why or why not?

If your feelings changed, how did they change? Why did they change?

If your feelings didn’t change, what did you do?

Personal Narrative Projection MasterWhite Balloons


The Personal Narrative

When you write a personal narrative, you are telling

a story – a story about your life, told from your

point of view. Like any story, your narrative

must contain

• a sequence of events (a plot)

• a problem to be solved (conflict)

Your narrative must also make a point (a theme).

This gives other people a reason to read your

narrative. It has something to say to them.

Writing Tips

• Involve readers in your story. Bring them

close to the action.

• Don’t just tell facts; write about how you

felt.

• Provide details in your telling of events.

Make sure these relate to your message.

Eulogy Projection MasterWhite Balloons


Eulogy

A eulogy is a formal statement or speech presented

at a person’s funeral or memorial service. The

eulogy honors the person who has died and

often cites his or her accomplishments.

The eulogy may also express the

writer’s fond memories of

the deceased person.
