Juniors - Friday, January 9, 2009

Happy Friday! Today we continued with some more writing exercises, and today we focused on point of view. For five minutes each, you were asked to write from the perspective of:
1. an inanimate object (a tool, a piece of furniture, a machine, food, etc.)
2. an animal (this includes insects, wild animals, reptiles, fish, birds, etc. etc.)
3. an enemy (an enemy of yours, or the enemy of someone you know, or from the point of view of someone we as a country might consider an enemy.)

After we were finished, I handed out the rubric and assignment sheet for your portfolios, which are due on January 30th. I also passed out a class set of Literary Genre packets, which include a list of possible genres to consider along with some examples. These will be kept in the cabinet in the classroom for you to use at any time, otherwise, you can download copies here if you'd like to have a personal copy to refer to.
