Writing Assignment
- Early Memory (pages 47-8)--I talked about how to do this assignment, and then I read two models.
- We had thirty minutes to type a first draft.
- We circled our verbs, underlined any words we thought might not be child-like, then turned them in.
- People who turned in Musical Memory Journals got with a partner and conferenced them, with my directions and a handout, then turned these back in.
- People who didn't hand this assignment in got a stern talking-to, and an option for completing this assignment.
Free Write
- We spent the last ten minutes of class thinking back to childhood and our thoughts about the holidays (Santa's Helper Prep).
