Hello, Creative Writing!
Revision: Show, Don’t Just
Tell Poem
1.
What do we do when we
revise?
2.
Get out your help sheet
entitled “Advice for Revising and Editing Poetry”.
3.
How is editing different
from revision?
4.
What do you gain from
having me read your piece? Let me pull
up a poem I read.
5.
What do you lose from not
having me read it?
6.
Here’s who shared their
poems with me. (If you don’t see your
name, you didn’t receive any comments from me.)
7.
My comments on your poem
are extensive. These are the first
things I want you to consider as you revise today.
8.
You will get your paper
copy back now. If you do NOT receive one
back, you did not turn one in. If you do
have it, WAIT, and staple it to the back of your final draft. Do not bring it to me or talk to me about it
now.
9.
Next, consider EVERYTHING
we just talked about, and EVERYTHING you’ve learned all term. THIS IS THE TIME when you should be SHOWING
YOUR MASTERY of the writing lessons.
10.
So, you don’t have a
checklist—you have a helper sheet, and a Vocabulary Variety sheet, my comments
on your paper, and your own huge brain.
11.
Your Task: Revise this so thoroughly that you create a
piece that is as close to perfect as you are capable of making it. (This will then be ready for your portfolio.)
12.
How am I going to grade
this revision?
When You Finish
1.
Print out your final revised
copy to the library. Megan will go get
them in a bit.
2.
Got to quizlet, and study the
vocab. Only five or six people have
studied enough to get their names on the board.
I need to see all twenty-two names there, so go to Learn Mode, and
complete that, then play the games or do the speller.
3.
Your quiz over these words is
THURSDAY.
Before We Revise the Prompt Word Poem
4.
Staple it to the TOP of
your rubric and rough draft.
5.
Turn it in at my candle.
6.
If you did not see your
poem in the folder I showed earlier, have someone in class help you save it IN
THAT FOLDER, with the title the same as the others.

Note: we are not reading further in the novel
tonight. I would like to take a day or
two in class to unpack everything we’ve read thus far.
Frankenstein Pair-Share
NOTE: Show “KINDNESS TO AUTHORS”,
as Nabokov said. Don’t make judgments and tell us your
opinions. Make an argument, and support it with a detail from the
text.
You and your
partner do the following:
1.
Weather
a.
Discuss what you notice about the weather in the first two frames of
the novel.
b.
How many details are there showing weather?
c.
What is the significance of all this weather?
2.
Annotations through page 70
a.
Discuss the questions you’ve asked.
b.
Discuss the connections you’ve made.
3.
Frankenstein Motifs—pages 8-9.
With your pair-share partner, scour your annotated pages for ANY idea
you feel might be a MOTIF (if it’s mentioned more than once, and it “feels”
like it’s weighted, important.) Let’s brainstorm a few possibilities now,
before you get going.
Start @ __2:30___; ending @ __2:45___
4.
2:45-ish: Whole class
discussion—your questions and connections
· KW: Talk about “foil.”
Professor
Foster—Literary Lesson
“It’s More Than Just Rain or Snow”
Read Foster’s chapter, and make at
least fifteen annotations.
