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.
- These are the examples I showed you yesterday.
Writing prompt:
- The Google Doc for you to write your memoir has already been created for you in Google Classroom.
- Once you open the doc you should add it to your English 19-20 folder in your google drive.
- 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.
Homework:
- Finish your draft. It does not need to be perfect (yet). It does need to be the whole story.
- If you need more time you can have it, but finish your complete draft by Friday.
- Read: You should have completed your first book by now. You should finish your second book by 10/4/19. (That's sooner than you think.)
- Open House is Thursday, October 3rd. Tell your parents.
