Five Pitches Task




ADV 2M1                                                                                                                  1% Application
This project will take us 5 classes. I will check your work each day for completion and mark the whole package at the end of the process. Each day every student will create a pitch in advance of class and be prepared to read that pitch aloud in class. We will then debrief and discuss each idea.
The Pitch: The story ideas should be written out in no longer than four sentences in length, and should demonstrate both the hook and the developmental potential of the idea. The pitch should give the reader some idea of tone, character, genre and premise.
Example: A new branch of science has been created to allow humans to control and merge their DNA with each other and create offspring with desirable, controllable traits. The procedure is very expensive but gives these new children a major chance at success in life. A black market has allowed those without financial means to have the procedure, but at a cost that may be more than money. And the black market procedure is somewhat less safe and predictable…
Each day you will be provided with a starting point of a different variety.

TIMELINE: Your first pitch is due tomorrow and we will read them aloud in class

Check each day, then submit all at the end for evaluation by:__________________________
