Today was Book Club 6, and you worked on creating an outline using the thesis from Book Club 4. See slide 13 for directions.
Today I introduced the Historical Vignette assignment. The fifteen facts are due by 7:25am on Thursday, on turnitin.com. Make sure you include the Works Consulted Page. Just an FYI: when you submit on turnitin.com, it will be a high percentage of similarity, but only because you are just posting facts. Do not worry about this. The rest of the period was spent working on the fact gathering or working on your short stories (which are due Wednesday at 10pm on turnitin.com).
Today we worked on the short story assignment. These are due on Wednesday, October 26th, at 10pm on turnitin.com.
Today you worked on your short stories. Outlines were passed back with my feedback.
Today was book club 5 (slide 11-12). You worked on creating an author map that traces the author's life and the historical information from the time period of the novel, to create a visual representation of how these appear or impact the story. Example can be found here (for F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby).
Today you took the Healthy Youth Survey. No Creative Writing curriculum.
Today we worked on the short story outlines (slide 11). These are due at the end of the period today.
Today I introduced our short story section of the novel unit. Notes can be found on the Short Story PP. We then read a short story called "Cinnamon". I also introduced the short story partner writing assignment. The outline is due at the end of class on Tuesday.
Thursday and Friday we had Create Your Own Adventure Story presentations! No homework.
Today we had book club 4. We took a short reading quiz (talk to me to arrange a make-up time). We finished the author posters from book club 2, and the movie poster from book club 3. We then worked on a thesis generation activity. See slide 10 for directions. Homework is to send me your Create Your Own Adventure Story as we will start presentations tomorrow!
