ENG 520 Final Project Milestone Four Guidelines and Rubric

Overview: In Module Six, you will submit a draft of your story’s world-building/setting details. These pieces will help to complete the bigger picture as you keep working toward the completion of all story elements in the final project that will come together in a full story plan. Prompt: Your world-building/setting details for your story should begin by explaining the place and time in which your story takes place. Why have you chosen this particular place and time for the setting of your story? Also, explain details you have included in your story with regard to the place and time that keeps the setting consistent throughout, including how readers can acknowledge the passage of time as they read toward the resolution. Furthermore, you should describe how the setting impacts the actual story that you are telling. Why is the setting important to the development of your story and what pieces of your story are dependent upon your choice of setting? Finally, describe the setting archetypes you have chosen to use within your story. Why did you choose these particular archetypes? Review this article on Archetypes for more information about specific archetypes. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

 Place and Time: Describe where and when your story takes place. Why did you choose this particular place and time for the setting of your story?

 Time and Profluence: Explain how readers know the place and time they are reading about at any given point within your story. What narrative profluence techniques will you employ to ensure that your scenes flow together in a forward motion toward the denouement?

 Story Development: Explain how the setting impacts the actual story that you are telling. Why is the setting important to the development of your story? What pieces of your story are dependent upon your choice of setting?

 Archetypes: Describe the setting archetypes you have chosen to use within your story. Why did you choose these particular archetypes? Guidelines for Submission: Your submission should be approximately 2–4 pages in length with double spacing.
