Stream of Consciousness: There is a type of writing that uses what is called stream of consciousness (also called interior monologue). In a nutshell this is trying to write the way the human brain works--without stopping, with digressions, and change of thought. It is characterized by a flow of thought. It can be very effective as illustrated in the short story "The Merry Chase."
After reading these stories, complete any of the following:
--Write about something stolen
--Write about sickness (or loss)
--Write a story that uses the technique of stream of consciousness
--Write a story that uses anaphora.
--Write a story about the interaction or relationship between a child and an older person (adult).
Today, you will be given grade reports. Please take these home and get them signed by your parents. Those of you missing work can turn in missing work up to Friday, Oct. 2. After that, you will receive no credit from these assignments.
