Learning target: We can identify two aspects of writing we want to explore further
We're going to start going over the calendar for the next week:
Second you're going to work on Journal 10:
Journal 10 – Re-read your journals thus far. What successes and challenges have you had with storytelling and poetry this semester?
Pick two aspects of creative writing that you’d like to explore in more depth. One of these will be the subject of your spell and the lesson that you teach to the 9th graders. These can be high level concerns such as meaning, point of view, or tone; mid-level issues, such as character, plot, description, metaphor, setting, or form; or a close level concerns, such as sentence structure, rhythm, rhyme, or word choice. Indicate which one you are most interested in.
What do you feel like you know about this element? What questions do you still have? Why are you interested in this part of your writing right now? Use at least two examples from your own writing to elaborate what you mean.
Third, you'll have time to work on your revisions. I will do a check-in with everyone to answer questions on their assignments.
Homework due Wednesday, November 18th
Sign-up for a conference time and continue working on revision.
