Due
- Tiny or Immense? (timed writing journal)
Writing Lesson--Words!
- We discussed Banished Words, on pages 10-13, and then we grabbed an iBook to look at the 2011 nominations.
- In our groups, we nominated ten words we want to banish, and we saved them on the Student Volume.
- We looked at everyone's words on the Big Screen.
- We will submit these officially to the website on Tuesday.
- We looked at the background of the Save the Words! website, then went there to explore: www.savethewords.org
- We spent the last fifteen minutes of class exploring words, and some people made adoptions. We will continue this on Tuesday.
CREATIVE WRITING
Here's what I passed out in class:
*Independent Work Time
• Journal #1 Directions Below
**Chat With Me
• When you come back to my desk, bring page 8 for me to check.
• You will also read aloud to me your Earliest Memory poem. (I have it.)
Journal #1
Please write “yes” or “no” in the blank provided.
_______1) I have read page 6 in my textbook about what a journal can be.
Here is the one statement I liked best from that page:
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
________2) I’ve typed, doublespaced a MINIMUM of one and a half pages on any topic of my choosing. (Keep in mind “acceptable material”.) I can use page 7 in my textbook for ideas, if I want to.
________3) I’ve saved it, printed it FRONT/BACK, and I’ve stapled this sheet (filled out) on top of it, then tossed it into the drawer.
Writer:______________________________________________________________________________
My journal is fiction nonfiction poetry combination (circle one)
