Writing Competitions!  Please see the tab on the left for links to writing competitions, and spend some time looking through for one that calls your name. Choose one and then brainstorm! At least four sentences.

Student work!  Please spend at least twenty minutes looking through your classmates’ published work, and write a response of no less than six sentences to one work of your choice. The response should be critical, expressing or involving an analysis of the merits and faults of the chosen work.  Please have both these written responses ready for the beginning of class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This wall will be our blackboard – the place that you check into daily and the page that you navigate to in preparation for your lesson.  Here you will see prompts, often building off of a quotation from any number of authors, philosophers, poets, statesmen and women.  Your responses to the prompt will serve as a keynote for the lesson, and will be the first activity after greeting.

Select written responses will be published on this blackboard.
