Homework
· Writing Experiment #9 (twenty-minute timed writing/typing)
Writing Experiment #9
· Select ONE of the following choices to write about.
· Set a timer for twenty minutes. Write or type for the full twenty minutes.
· TYPE this assignment (and doublespace it), if you can do so at a reasonable pace.
· Record the time you started, and the time you stopped, at the top of your typed page.
· Note: I’m skeptical of experiments that are a half-page or less—you wrote for more than that in only ten minutes when you did your first writing assignment on day one of class. USE THE FULL TWENTY MINUTES for this assignment—focus on the writing, and eliminate the distractions that might claim your attention.
DUE: TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY, in Mr. Collins’ hand, when the tardy bell rings.
Option 1: This I Believe
You probably share a basic outlook on life with your friends. However, most people have a few beliefs that would shock their friends. Write about a belief of yours that annoys or surprises the people who are close to you.
Option 2: Making a Comeback
According to the cliché,
“Every setback is an opportunity for a comeback.”
In your life, has this proven true? Have you always recovered from setbacks?
