CREATIVE WRITING


Sharing

• About half the class read their Autobiographical Poems, and we commented on what we learned about the author.  We took notes on our blue sheet.

Writing Lesson

• Diction--we looked at and discussed the E.B. White sentence on page 51.  

Writing Revision--Sense Poem Final Draft

•   Read page 61—this shows WHAT you’re supposed to be doing now.
•   Read over your rubric—any questions?
•   Revise!  J  Do what is says on page 61.
•   Save and print a final copy.

Turn it in like this:

·      Rubric on top (filled out!)
·      Final draft
·      Rough draft

Conferencing

• I finished mid-term conferences with almost everyone today.

Homework

• Complete the one or two late homework assignments I highlighted on your mid-term printout.  THESE ARE DUE TOMORROW.
