Creative Writing
Today: Write a first line for a story that would be about the beginning of your life. How could you hook your reader? Think about the style you want to use: are you trying to be more factual or more emotional?
Tomorrow we are going to the library to start our blogs. You will need a gmail account. Have a look at Blogger tonight so that you will be ready to start.
Friday is a double block. Bring your first sentence to class. Write a reflection in your journal about the opening chapter of My Left Foot. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the chapter? What did you like or dislike and why?
Bring Silent Reading for Friday
English 12
Today we were writing a persuasive paragraph about "Just Lather that's All". You need to have a draft done for tomorrow. Use the handouts to help you plan your writing. You need a general topic sentence and a specific thesis statement. Remember that your thesis needs to be debatable. Don't try to prove a statement. Be sure to ask yourself if you are answering the question in your paragraph. Are you providing enough evidence to support your opinion?
Your completed response journal for your novel should be done by Friday.
