For Monday

Creative Writing
Reading journal for review on Monday. Please have it ready for editing and revision. You might want to consider what aspect of the novel you want to look at for the journal rather than trying to address too many. You can look at quotes that you like and talk about the significance of those quotes to you. It really doesn't matter what perspective you take.

Bring your laptop if you have one for working on your memoir assignment. Edit and revise over the weekend. Think of 2 questions you want addressed by your editor on Monday. Ask yourself if you are doing enough "showing" of your character instead of "telling."  When should you be telling?

We will be working on revisions on Monday.

Silent Reading on Tuesday. 4th journal is due on April 2nd. The final journal is due the following Monday. You will need to type it and have it ready for class. Stapled, with a title page etc.

Monologues should be typed and ready to go on Tuesday. Remember what tone you are trying to convey with your words and with your oral tone. We will be practising in class on Tuesday for reading in small groups. You can do it!

Great work with the poems about women today. Fine tributes to the special women who make our lives richer. You are very talented. Believe in the power of your words to move yourself and others.
