Writing time
Writing Small:
- A short memoir should be about a single incident.
- The focus should be on one event.
- You can include a before and after, but keep the focus on the main event.
- Let me show you some examples.
Writing prompt:
- A Google Doc for you to write your memoir has already been shared with you!
- Go to Drive.google.com, and look in the "shared with me" section.
- Open the Doc called (period, name, memoir prompt.) Add it to your English 18-19 folder.
- You may listen to music, but if you aren't getting writing done, or if anyone else can hear your music, then your music privilege goes away fast.
- You may not talk. Writing requires concentration. Please respect your classmates need for a quiet writing space.
- Write a complete draft, beginning, middle, and end. If you finish early go back through your writing and continue adding details, dialog, and descriptions.
- You may write about the event you put on the form on Friday, or change your mind.
Homework:
- Finish your draft. It does not need to be perfect (yet). It does need to be the whole story.
- Read: You should have completed your first book by now. You need to finish your second book by 10/5/18. (That's sooner than you think.)
- Open House is Thursday, October 4th. Tell your parents.
