| 8) Dave collect work and hand back everything that's been graded. | ||
| Homework | 1) Call for Stories: write a 5-20 page story (try not go under or over the limit) and bring five copies to our next class. You'll turn one in to Dave and give copies to your group to read and comment on over the next week. If your story is chosen for the class packet, you won't discuss it in a small group; rather, it will be discussed in the class as a whole. There will be approximately four stories in the class packet. | |
| 2) Read BBB and mark up to share quotes/ideas with class. Read pp. 64-84 and do record any great quotes in your writer's journal. | ||
| 3) Read "Seven Floors" by Dino Buzzati on p. 99 and come prepared to discuss. Also, don't forget to write a synopsis on a 3 x 5 card. | ||
| 4) Bring a book that you don't mind parting with. I'd suggest a paperback that you've enjoyed. Don't go out and buy one. We'll trade at the next class, so it's very important that you bring one. No book; no trade. |
