Think back on your last writer's conference. Do you remember what you wanted to improve in your writing? Think about it now: are you focused on the introduction, your thesis statement, your organization, your mechanics (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, grammar), or something else? Today, as you write this, are you excited about showing more skill in an area that once frustrated you?
AGENDA:
1. Mindfulness
2. Journal: discussion
3. Weekend essay
4. Independent work / optional writers' conferences
5. RI test for those who haven't yet completed it (the classroom computers are now reconnected to the internet! :)
POST:
In a thoughtful, well-organized, well-written essay, please respond to the following prompt:
How would you describe the narrator in "A Telephone Call"? Is she just like us, except a little more honest because she thinks her thoughts are private, or is she nuts? Please provide (a minimum of) three examples to support your thesis.
Please post this essay to your blog (title: 911 OR PRANK CALL) no later than 11:59 A.M. PDT on Sunday, May 5. -Mahalo
