For homework, I asked you to select one of the short stories linked below this post and to read it. You will be reading a lot as a creative writing major. Reading is necessary for you to:
When instructed, please get into small assigned groups. You will be engaging in CONVERSATION about the story you read. The other group members will be grading you on how well you communicate and relate the story you read to them. This exercise encourages you to communicate effectively in (hopefully) low-stress situations.
To get ready for this exercise you should be familiar enough with the plot, the characters, setting, point of view (POV) and general theme of the story you read. You may consult the notes you took in your journal for this purpose.
After this exercise, please either continue or finish your Interview short story draft (see posts below), or work on reading the homework (or exploring J.K. Rowling's website...also see below).
HOMEWORK: Please read the first two stories in The Tales of Beedle the Bard by J.K. Rowling. Take a look at her WEBSITE and see what you think of its design. You can also learn about the author and what's new.
1. Get ideas for your own stories/poems/plays, etc.Before we begin, please take a few minutes to complete the handout I give you. Complete the handout.
2. See models of good writing (so you know how to write well yourself)
3. Learn how a story/poem/play is put together artistically
