All classes: My apologies for not having a blog entry yesterday, the first day I've missed this semester. I promise to do better.
SENIORS: Add two writing exercises to your notebook, based on the handout I gave on Monday. See me for the handout or check out these 3 links: Page 1, Page 2, Page 3. Read the section called Describe a Place. In your notebook, under the title Setting, follow the exercise instructions on this link for writing a setting. Concentrate on creating significant details, and your writing should take up, roughly, a page. Then, read the section called Develop a Character's Interior Life and, in your notebook, under the title Appearance, follow the directions on the Writing Exercises link. Again, concentrate on using significant details, and write for, roughly, one page.
SOPHOMORES: Many of you are trying to incorporate a flashback into your story; however, some of the flashbacks that I've been reading need more development. Click on this link to review what should happen with a flashback. Look back at Marriage is a Private Affair and The Bracelet to refresh your memory on how flashbacks were used in those stories. The rest of the class time was used to work on creating your final drafts which was due today at the end of the period.
