Happy Friday!! Today, we began the first of many days in the computer lab working on creating some initial drafts of you portfolio pieces. By now, you should have a pretty set idea of the three pieces of writing you'd like to include. We went over the literary genre list again (you can also download it here) and discussed some characteristics of some of the genres. You spent the rest of the period typing up your first drafts. I asked you to have at least one by the end of the day. Print out a hard copy, stick it in your writer's notebook and bring it with you to class on Tuesday - we will be doing some editing exercises with them. Over the weekend, spend at least ten minutes writing. Get outside (it's going to be beautiful weather!!), sit quietly for a bit, and just write whatever is on your mind. Or, continue working on your drafts!! By next week, you will need to have composed three rough drafts (one for each creative piece) for me to see. Have a great weekend!! Please email me if you are having troubles and I will be happy to help!!!! megan.l.alvarez@adams12.org
