CREATIVE WRITING


Sharing
  • We continued and finished sharing our Earthbook favorites.
  • We read aloud our Trio Cliché Stories, and they were terribly good!
Review
  • We talked about why clichés are undesirable in writing, and we talked about the benefits and drawbacks or working collaboratively on a writing assignment.
Organization
  • I showed the blog again and stressed the need for people to check it when they are absent.
  • I reminded people to check their grades online.
Portfolio
  • We read the evaluation page in our book (8).
  • I showed the slideshow of past portfolios, and we discussed some of them.
Homework
  • None
MODERN PROSE
  • I had book conferences with people who had finished with Book #1.
  • Everyone else read for about seventy minutes.
EARTHBOOK
  • Nolan went over the Elements grid, reminding people to add to it as they see fit. 
  • We read and selected quietly, while Rhianna and Brittany served as rockers to facilitate our reading.
