Building Confidence; Preparing Material for the Coffeehouse

Use 3rd period to:

• Type up and prepare any writing prompt exercise you wrote for The Thief of Always. Please turn in a copy of your work (as many pieces as you type up). Save a copy for period 4 as well.
• Select up to 3 pieces of writing you have completed in either Ms. Gamzon or my creative writing class that you would be interested in sharing/performing at the coffeehouse on Nov. 21 at 7:00 in the Ensemble theater.

During period 4:

• Please get in the following groups and share your writing with each other.
• Please listen and provide positive feedback to each performer/sharer. This begins your practice for the upcoming Coffeehouse.
• Please participate and work together in your groups effectively.

Group 1: Cameron, Jahde, Hetep, Amanda, Janelys, Justice, Alannah
Group 2: Avana, Olivia, Robert, Leilanis, Frieda, Gilda, Reyenne
Group 3: Rosalia, Kami, Jasmina, Rashid, Nandi, Aslin

Read your work to the other members of your group. You must share AT LEAST ONE piece with your group. You MAY share more. Soon you will decide which piece(s) to perform at the coffeehouse.

If you finish early, you may choose either option:
A. Continue/complete your reading of The Thief of Always.
B. Begin reading the chapter on Building Confidence and completing the 10 Review Questions (due as homework for next class)

HOMEWORK: There will be a test on The Thief of Always next class (Tuesday, Nov. 5). Please complete the novel and study the basic plot, characters, use of motifs (see previous posts), etc.

Read the chapter "Building Confidence" and answer the 10 Review Questions. Due Nov. 5.
