Writing Workshop Lesson 15

Posted in Writing Lessons
Title: Joseph of Genesis
Nutshell Summary: The story of how Joseph trusts God through his trials.

Hook: Joseph is Jacob’s favorite son and he gives him a coat of many colors.
Problem (first “down”): Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him and they sold him to a passing caravan, who later on sells him to the Egyptians.
Up: Potiphar makes Joseph the overseer of the house.
Down: Potiphar’s wife tells a lie about Joseph and he is thrown in the prison.
Up: Even though Joseph is one of the prisoners, he is given charge over all the other prisoners.
Down: The chief butler forgets to tell Pharaoh about Joseph.
Up: Pharaoh has a dream and the chief butler remembers how Joseph interpreted it and Joseph is let out of prison.
Down: There is a famine in the land.
Up: Joseph is put in charge of all the food.
CLIMAX (darkest moment): Joseph tells his brothers that they are spies and he is going to keep them all in prison.
Resolution: Joseph’s brothers return with Benjamin.
Satisfying Ending: Joseph’s family comes to live in Egypt for the rest of the famine.

Very, very well done, Amy! I'm impressed. You took my "hint" and truly made it your own lesson. Great "climax" too! I forgot about that one when I was thinking about ups and downs.

That wasn't so bad, was it? In fact, now that you have conquered this (hard) lesson, I hope you found it kind of fun. Next time you read a book, think about the ups and downs the authors used. I guess the whole point of these writing lessons is to help you "Read with Author Eyes." When you do that, you will know what a good book is made of and you can imitate the techniques used and create your own stories to delight and entertain (and encourage) readers.

One more lesson! I guess I'd better start working on that certificate. :-)
