Scriptwriting Tips
As you write your script, ask yourself the following
questions:
•
Is the dialogue believable? In other words, does it sound
natural?
•
Is the dialogue consistent with the personality and
character of the person speaking it? In other words, does
it sound like something that particular person would say?
•
What message is communicated through the character’s
words? Is this the message you want to communicate?

Matoa’s Mirror
Symbolism Projection Master #1
Symbolism
A symbol is anything that stands for or
represents something beyond itself. An author
may use a real thing – an object, person, event,
etc. – to represent an idea or to communicate
a message.
= Love
How can you tell whether or not something in a
story has a symbolic meaning?

Symbolism Projection Master #2
Symbolism in “Matoa’s Mirror”
“ ‘Mami, I’m just going to a party. Give me a
break, willya?’ Kenny said, turning his
back on her to comb his hair at the cracked
mirror. He moved his head until he found an
angle from which it wasn’t split by the
crooked line that ran across the mirror
like a winding road on a map.” p. 83
As you read “Matoa’s
Mirror”, notice the
author’s repeated use of
mirrors. What might the
mirror represent in the
passage above? What
might the crack in the
mirror symbolize?

Matoa’s Mirror
Writing a Speech Projection Master
Writing a Speech
A speech can be informative, persuasive,
entertaining, or a little of each. What should
Kenny’s speech be?
A speech contains three sections:
The introduction is the beginning of the speech. It
must catch the audience’s attention. Reciting a
quote, asking a question, telling a funny story, or
presenting an amazing fact or statistic, are all great
ways to start a speech.
The body is the middle and main part of the speech.
Here you develop your main ideas – ideas that
contribute to the topic of your speech. Supporting
details for each idea must also be stated here.
The conclusion, the end of the speech, is sometimes
the only part the audience remembers. Make it
strong, clear, and memorable.

Don José of La Mancha
Voice Projection Master #1
Voice is the narrator’s manner of speaking. It
includes the narrator’s perspective on the events he
or she is telling. The narrator may or may not have a
strong personality. The narrator may have a
character’s voice, or even the author’s voice.
To discover the narrator’s voice ask questions
such as
•
Who is telling the story?
•
What is the narrator like? For example, is
the voice friendly or impersonal? Is the
voice friendly or serious?
•
Does the author seem to be speaking
through the narrator?

Voice Projection Master #2
What words would you use to describe the voice of the narrator
in the following passage from “Don José of La Mancha”?
“Saturday night
television is crap. It’s
either sports or old
movies. I try to watch
Bette Davis being a
witch and getting
away with it, but she
goes soft over a guy.
It’s hard to believe
some of the things
people say and do in
these old films: the
world simply stops
when they fall in love,
and all they think
about is how to get the
other person to love
them back.”

Writing an Opinion Projection Master
Writing an Opinion
An opinion is not a fact. It is a judgment or
evaluation made after making observations and
examining the facts.
To express an opinion:
1) State your opinion in a sentence.
2) Give supporting details for your opinion.
Choose 3 to 4 details that matter the most.
3) Use transition words while writing the
supporting details. These are words that link the
supporting details to the opinion, such as
“because,” “then,” or “since.”
4) Write a conclusion. This may be a summary of
your main points.

Foreshadowing Projection Master
Foreshadowing
All manner of people grew interested in Kino –
people with things to sell and people with favors to
ask. Kino had found the Pearl of the World. The
essence of pearl mixed with essence of men and a
curious dark residue precipitated. Every man
suddenly became related to Kino’s pearl, and Kino’s
pearl went into the dreams, the speculations, the
schemes, the plans, the futures, the wishes, the
needs, the lusts, the hungers, of everyone, and only
one person stood in the way and that was Kino, so
that he became curiously every man’s enemy. The
news stirred up something infinitely black and evil
in the town…

Figurative Language Projection Master
Figurative Language
Writer use figurative language when they describe
things by making unusual comparisons. This type of
language helps readers to create mental images as
they read. Here are a few kinds of figurative
language used in An Island Like You.
A simile compares two things in a phrase
introduced by “like” or “as.” For example,
“The sea was as smooth as glass.”
A metaphor also compares two things, but it does
not contain the words “like” or “as.” For example,
“His mind was a swirling whirlwind.”
Personification gives human attributes to an animal
or an object. For example, “The wind howled
angrily and threw itself against our house
with all of its strength.”

Personal Narrative Projection Master
The Personal Narrative
When you write a personal narrative, you are telling
a story – a story about your life, told from your
point of view. Like any story, your narrative
must contain
•
•
a sequence of events (a plot)
a problem to be solved (conflict)
Your narrative must also make a point (a theme).
This gives other people a reason to read your
narrative. It has something to say to them.
Writing Tips
• Involve readers in your story. Bring them
close to the action.
•
Don’t just tell facts; write about how you
felt.
•
Provide details in your telling of events.
Make sure these relate to your message.
