Il racconto fantasy - fantascrivendo jimdo page di Cristiana Pivetta Nel racconto fantasy la fantasia e la realtà tendono a confondersi dando vita a storie misteriose e allo stesso tempo inquietanti. Ma quando si afferma il genere? Si potrebbe credere che sia frutto della letteratura contemporanea, in realtà ha una storia molto antica. L'elemento fantastico è già presente nell'epica sumerica (il poema di Gigalmesh) e in quella greca (Odissea). In età medioevale si ricordano il poema di Beowulf e le storie di re Artù e dei cavalieri della Tavola Rotonda. Il genere fantasy propriamente detto nasce nell'ambito della cultura anglosassone verso la fine dell'Ottocento. Le vicende sono ambientate in passati remoti o in lontanissimi futuri ed anche talvolta in universi paralleli. Non è un genere di pura evasione, ma esalta valori come l'onestà e la lealtà, il senso di giustizia, l'affermarsi del bene sul male.

Donalyn Miller How to Structure A Story: The Eight-Point Arc By Ali Hale - 3 minute read One of my favourite “how to write” books is Nigel Watts’ Writing A Novel and Getting Published. My battered, torn and heavily-pencil-marked copy is a testament to how useful I’ve found it over the years. Although the cover appears to be on the verge of falling off altogether, I’ve risked opening the book once more to bring you Watts’ very useful “Eight-Point Story Arc” – a fool-proof, fail-safe and time-honoured way to structure a story. (Even if you’re a short story writer or flash fiction writer rather than a novelist, this structure still applies, so don’t be put off by the title of Watts’ book.) The eight points which Watts lists are, in order: StasisTriggerThe questSurpriseCritical choiceClimaxReversalResolution He explains that every classic plot passes through these stages and that he doesn’t tend to use them to plan a story, but instead uses the points during the writing process: So, what do the eight points mean?

Tecnologie Zainetto Se un corso si potesse giudicare dal numero di iscrizioni, questo avrebbe già passato l’esame. Settanta iscritti e un numero consistente di richieste rimaste inevase, purtroppo. Significa che c’è sete di formazione, soprattutto nel settore della didattica con l’utilizzo delle tecnologie. Un ambito che attrae, e allo stesso tempo spaventa , molti di noi che ci impegniamo nella scuola. “Tecnologie nello zainetto…e si parte” è nato dalla necessità di promuovere nella scuola del primo ciclo d’istruzione competenze vere, più didattiche che tecniche. E’ stato organizzato per confermare che non occorre essere degli informatici per lavorare seriamente con il digitale a scuola. Darà delle certezze, piccoline forse, ma basilari. E come vedete non uso il condizionale. La “squadra” dei formatori è un gruppo serio nelle competenze e vivace nelle proposte. Lori, Paola, Roberto e Samanta sono Maestri con la maiuscola. Non si preoccupino i docenti della secondaria: le proposte sono trasversali. Mancano

Elements of Suspense in Writing: 6 Secret to Creating and Sustaining Suspense Thriller writing? Mystery writing? Literary fiction? It’s all the same: Building apprehension in the minds of your readers is one of the most effective keys to engaging them early in your novel and keeping them flipping pages late into the night. Simply put, if you don’t hook your readers, they won’t get into the story. If you don’t drive the story forward by making readers worry about your main character, they won’t have a reason to keep reading. Think: Worry equals suspense. The best part is, the secrets for ratcheting up the suspense are easy to implement. 1. Four factors are necessary for suspense—reader empathy, reader concern, impending danger and escalating tension. We create reader empathy by giving the character a desire, wound or internal struggle that readers can identify with. We want readers to worry about whether or not the character will get what he wants. Suspense builds as danger approaches. Then blow in more. And more. Until the reader can hardly stand it. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
