Please use the first 40 minutes to complete and perfect your Geva 10-Minute plays. These are due today. See the previous post for formatting details.
If you finish early please read the handout, Scott McCloud's comic strip about "art." While he is primarily discussing visual arts, the same philosophy applies to writing. Take notes in your journal. Pinpoint or record questions that arise in the artistic process, or personal comments that you would like to examine. We will discuss this and other things in period 4 in room a240.
HOMEWORK: When you finish reading and responding to Scott McCloud's graphics, please write a short personal response to the following question. Please answer ALL parts of the question; it has two essential parts:
What is your 4-year goal concerning creative writing and the arts. Why did you enter this program (be honest, the idea is to "discover" truth through writing about it) and where do you want to take your writing in the next four years? (i.e. what is your long term goal concerning creative writing?)
Second part: What is your relationship with reading? What sorts of literary genres do you prefer? If you don't read, why not? If you do, what helps you read? If you are a skilled reader, what do you think caused you to be skilled? If you are a weak reader, why do you think you are a weak reader? Explore the concept of reading.
Please complete your response and turn it in for credit. Realize that incomplete work results in lower grades, etc. Learn to use lab time and home time efficiently.
