Congratulations, Freshmen!
You have successfully completed a public performance. I hope you enjoyed the coffee house and will participate in future ones.
Part of our goal this year is for you to get to know your strengths and weaknesses by completing a myriad of assignments, projects, and performances. Self reflection is an important component to learning.
How you felt you did last night as a performance. If you had to do it over again, what would you do differently? What did you learn about public speaking by performing your writing last night? What surprised you about the performance? Who's performance did you particularly enjoy? Did you notice anything different between the Freshman performances and the other Creative Writing performances? What did your parents say or think about the performance? What would you do differently the next time you perform a speech or public reading? What advice would you give other performers?
This morning, please take the first period (3rd period) to respond and comment to your coffehouse performance.
During 4th period, please complete the following task:
Create a character.
Use the handouts/graphics to design a character, then use your artistic ability to create a character for yourself.
When you have created your character, write an important story about your creation. Use the graphic organizers to help you plan and brainstorm your story. Then, after completing the graphic organizers and planning your story, begin writing it. Your story will be due before our break (Nov. 26)
HOMEWORK: None. Journals will be collected after Thanksgiving break (Dec. 4).
