 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * In this unit we will explore the basic components of narrative writing. These include, but are not limited to: plot, point-of-view, setting, conflict, and a handful of other terms. We will discuss the importance of being specific and concise, but also detailed and interesting. Through this you will also experience self and peer-evaluation. We will also cover how crucial it is to create characters that are consistent throughout the entire piece of writing. Though there will be minimal readings as a way to introduce you to the subject of narrative writing, most of what you will be doing in this course is writing your own narratives! You will create a handful of different products along the way that will help you better understand these concepts. ||
