SENIORS: We added two entries into your notebook.  The first is titled "Scary Time": Recall a time when you were scared.  Who, what, where, when, and how did you react?  Why did you react that way?  The second entry is titled "Magic in the Details": Imagine being in a scary place, such as the unlit cellar of a haunted house or an abandoned graveyard late at night.  Use specific sensory descriptions--of smells, sounds, images (insofar as they are discernable in weak light), and physical sensations.  Bring your IRB on Monday.

SOPHOMORES: We begin work on our short story.  There were 3 prompts to choose from:

  Choose one, do some brainstorming with a web or bullet points, create an outline so you have a sense of your beginning, middle, and end, AND have a rough draft of your opening paragraph.  Bring all of the above with you on Monday.  Remember, you are writing fiction, not memoir.  Have a great weekend!
