Creative Writing Portfolio; 12 Angry Men

During period 3, please print out any poem, short story, or speech you have written for this class and put your work in your portfolio.

WRITING REFLECTION: Add to this a few paragraphs about how you feel your first marking period has gone as a creative writing major. Reflect on the work you have accomplished and explain how you have grown as a writer this marking period and, finally, comment on what you feel you still need to work on more in regard to becoming a successful writer.

After writing your reflection, please print it out and keep this in your portfolio.

If you finish your work and reflection before 4th period, please get together with a student or two who is also finished with their portfolio and share your work with them. PLEASE DO NOT BOTHER STUDENTS WHO ARE STILL WORKING ON THEIR REFLECTIONS!

During period 4, we will move to the library to pick up the play 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose. This play is one of the world's most famous court dramas. It was originally written as a t.v. play, but was adapted into a stage play in 1955 and then a movie in 1957 starring Henry Fonda and Jack Klugman. Here's a clip.

After checking it out of the library, please return to room 238 and let's begin reading it together.

HOMEWORK: None. Please bring your plays back with you next class. Extra credit (and horror stories) are due by Friday!
