A bucket list is a list that is made up of a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime. These will usually consist of things that someone has never done before but hopes to do before they die. It's a way of keeping track of what is most important to you and identifying the milestones and experiences you hope to have.
NEW WRITING: Your first writing assignment for term 4 is a simple one, but you need to do some thinking. You are to create a bucket list of the top 20 things you want to do before you turn 30. Please be realistic and do not make the list repetitive. Think creatively...imagine what your life might look like at 30.
Macro slideshows will be presented in class on Mon of next week. So you have a bit of extra time.
Conflict writing assignment is due on Friday if you want to receive a mark.
You are to create a conflict and then resolve it in this piece of writing. It does not have to be a great big long story just a situation involving conflict.
Human vs Human Human vs Nature
Human vs Self Human vs Technology

Conflict brings stories to life, though it isn’t important for what it is, but for what it does. What does it do? The answer to this question lies at the very heart of storytelling. Conflict forces characters to act in ways that reveal who they are – and nothing tells us more about characters than how they deal with their troubles.
When conflict exposes who a character really is, the reader is drawn in through identification. The more difficult the character’s choice, the more his true nature will be revealed. In great stories – Romeo and Juliet; Hamlet; Scarlett O’Hara; Frodo; Harry Potter – the heroes are forced to go all the way. The more pressure you put on your character, the more you make him reveal his true, inner self and the more powerfully your readers will identify with them.
So, stories are about adversity. Happiness can be the ending of the story, but it can’t be the story itself. Why not? Because happy characters don’t want to change. Happiness doesn’t force the characters to act and thus reveal themselves and, if the characters are having a good time, the reader is not.
To be forced to change, to act and reveal their innermost selves, characters need to be frustrated, desperate and at the end of their rope. The worse you make it for your characters the better it is for the reader. When the characters give all they’ve got, readers experience it deeply and powerfully.
To create true conflict, two things are needed: a want and an obstacle. Your protagonist must want something, and there must be an obstacle (the antagonist) that’s trying to stop her from getting what she wants (Ahab wants to kill the whale, the whale wants to kill Ahab).
Both the want and the obstacle must be strong and determined. If either is weak, it will be impossible to create a good story.
Criteria: At least a half page in length, have it edited by Ms Chase before handing in final copy.
