Writing practice: Exploding your own moment.
- Open your English Journal.
- Choose a specific moment from your memoir that you could explode.
- Write a version of that exploded moment in your English Journal. (You can add it to your memoir later if you like it.)
- This will be a timed writing. You have 10 minutes.
Choosing the best explosions:
- Read your exploded moment to your table group.
- Vote for the best one at your table.
- The "winner" will submit their exploded moment HERE. (Only the winner at your table.)
- Add your exploded moment to your memoir if it makes your memoir better.
Reminders:
- Work on your memoir. It will be DUE Wednesday next week.
- Keep reading book #2.
This lesson is good because it gets them reading their work out loud. Good prep for writing groups next week.
