Juniors - Tuesday, January 6, 2009

Today we went over introductory materials and requirements for our creative writing unit. View the power point by clicking here. I also gave you all copies of the calendar and schedule for this unit (a unit syllabus if you will), we went over it, and you can also download this here. Please keep in mind that the daily agenda and assignments are subject to change, and I will notify you if something needs to be altered. The rest of the period was spent writing your first assignment, your "writing autobiography." This is due no later than Friday, so if you were absent, download instructions below and see me if you have any questions. For block day, you need to bring in some "golden lines," and excerpt or quote from a favorite piece of writing to share. You will also be using this for a fun activity. Also, remember to get a writer's notebook - you do not have to go buy a new one if you don't want to, but at the very least, you need to have a designated space to keep all of you writing. We will be diving right in on Wednesday and Thursday.
