Below is a list of topics that you will need to address in this part of the project:
audience and POV

wants versus needs and/or “Not Only…But Also” (NOBA)
protagonist, hero, heroine, or main character(s)
conflict or the dramatic issue (the issue to be overcome) and opposing forces
separation: the call and separation from the ordinary world, setting
initiation and training: mentors and other special helpers
threshold guardians, obstacles, and trials
allies, villains, and sidekicks.
Using the list of topics above, justify how you will employ each in the construction process for your narrative.
Research at least one scholarly article relating to one or more of
the topics listed above within the context of your major. In a paragraph
or two, describe how the information in the article is beneficial to
your process as a storyteller. Use proper MLA in-text citation. Create
an MLA-style bibliographic entry for your source at the end of the
document. Navigate this site to learn about where to find appropriate
sources, and how to evaluate and employ them in your document.
Use ENGL142: Foundations of Story resource page as a reference.
To format the document, do the following:
Include a left-justified MLA heading that includes your name, your professor’s name, the course, and the due date.
Include a centered title.
The body of the document will use paragraphs to discuss each of
the Unit topics, a. – i. Depending upon the scope and balance of your
ideas, you might be able to group a few of the unit topics into one
paragraph. If you do, use guiding topic sentences that state the topics
you will discuss in the paragraph.
Feel free to use left-justified section headings if the headings will help you to stay organized.
Create a separate paragraph(s) to discuss the scholarly article.
Place the bibliographic entry and word count at the end of the document. The word count will include the entire document.
