Critique - Show, Don't Tell

To Start:

• What did you learn in the last critique process? (About your own story, about what makes a good story generally, or about what makes a helpful critique. Not "nothing.")
• Think back to our last critique. What makes a suggestion helpful and specific?
• Think back to Palahniuk. How can an author show the reader elements of the story, rather than telling them?
• Name two new classmates that you would like to work with.

• We're completing a final round of peer critique on "Show, Don't Tell," using this form.
