What makes a story interesting
The handout, “what makes a story interesting,” which I compiled from your blog posts responding to “Stories Pitched by our Parents,” is posted on the blog Handouts page. We went over this handout in class on Monday, Oct 1, but some of you were absent to observe a religious holiday. You might want to check out this handout to see what the class consensus was on the elements for crafting interesting and entertaining stories. And everyone: please keep these elements in mind as you work. How can you compose audio-essays that appeal to, entertain, and/or intrigue your listeners? You won’t appeal to all the listeners/readers all the time, of course. But still… How can you compose work that balances your personal interests and keeps your audience in mind at the same time?
