BATHROOMS & GOOD VILLAINS/COMMAS

SENIORS: Two assignments to go in your notebook. The first, titled Bathrooms, was a 7-minute freewrite describing different bathrooms you've experienced.  After writing, go back and circle the concrete details and underline the significant details.  If you find that you don't have any significant details, put some in.

     The second assignment, titled The Good Villain, asked you to find a good quality in a bad person.  The idea behind this assignment is to write realistic characters: everyone is not all good, nor are they all bad.  Click on this link to see the specific directions for this writing exercise. 

SOPHOMORES: We did more review work on commas; due to the format of that handout, I am not able to put it on my blog.  Please see me ASAP for a copy.  The rest of the period was devoted to working on turning the rough draft of your short story into a final draft (due Tuesday, Oct. 21).
