Please read Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterfly up to page 90.
These are not essays and don’t need to be formal in presentation. When you write, just be direct and concise. Take an analytic perspective of how the story is communicated, and not a critical analysis of form or content. If you “get it” it succeeded as communication. For us, as writers, as storytellers, the question is how that communication works.
Keep the following in mind, when you upload to the associated Discussion board:
Do you have a clear sense of the story being told to you, looking back on another time with a more modern outlook? Is the perspective of the storytelling consistent? Do you have a sense of an explicit or implied narrator?
Do you get lots of information in summary? Are you provided with conclusions and clear understandings of how to judge the events and people involved?
What chains of Cause & Effect do you see operating?
Trace the stories of three characters that exist within this narrative:
Katherine Johnson; Dorothy Vaughan; and Mary Jackson
Is each one an individual story? Do their stories all center on thematic issues and not just the circumstances of working in the nation’s chief aeronautical lab?

Take a look at the producer program:
Admissions Requirements
Answer these two question:
What two qualities do you possess that would serve you well as a producer?
What is one quality that you need help with to learn and grow to be a better producer?
Please help me edit a paragraph:
AVOID WORD REPETITION -One thing that can wreck the STYLE of any answer is the repeated use of the same word, or even a variation on that word, especially in the same sentence, when that repetition is not done intentionally or for effect. CREATE WORD PICTURES -That means using evocative word choices (use action verbs, use illustrative adjectives). Write in a way that paints a picture in the reader’s mind in such a way that would compel someone to engage in the story. See less WRITING WITH STYLE -The ability to write with style will be invaluable to your career, so use our class questionnaires as exercises to better your own abilities as a writer. Because like it or not, a large part of being able to do what you want to do will require you all to be good writers. PUNCTUATION AND SPACING ON THE PAGE FOR EMPHASIS – If you are working in Adobe Acrobat (which you should be), It’s quite EASY to do a paragraph break. You can go bold. You can italicize. You can even underline! REQUIRED WRITING TECHNIQUES ALLITERATION – Using multiple words with the same starting letter or sound in a pattern that is pleasing. RHYTHM and MUSICALITY – read your copy OUT LOUD to create this effect on the page. REPETITION OF WORDS – Used for an aesthetic effect or to make a point, not randomly or accidentally. USE OF FAMILIAR PHRASES or COMMON SAYINGS – and/or turning a known phrase around. ASK A PROVOCATIVE QUESTION… to which you either give the answer or purposefully withhold it. BE CREATIVE – replace commonplace adjectives and adverbs with more expressive choices. Instead of “very hot,” maybe “scorching”?
