RATE YOUR PROGRESS SCORE 4.0 3.0 Lesson 5

I can do all tasks in 3.0 and I can teach others! I can demonstrate how to develop and strengthen writing by applying advanced storytelling techniques throughout copy. I can… a. revise, edit and rewrite the story to remove redundancy b. use precise language, including strong verbs and adjectives, to create specific, concise copy c. use various points of view in copywriting when appropriate for the content of the story d. use telling details, sensory language and cinematic techniques to create vivid pictures of the experience, event, setting and/or characters I can establish an authentic voice that highlights the unexpected details of the story in a creative way while maintaining an objective tone throughout. I understand the importance of revising the story and removing redundancy from copy, but I still struggle to apply more advanced story-telling techniques. I understand how to write a basic story that follows the proper format, but I don’t understand the techniques required to refine the story into a publishable piece.
