1. Choose one of the drafts you liked from one of these projects:
- The Proverb Story (a story or non-fiction essay using a proverb)
- The Speak Story (a story or non-fiction essay based on one of the prompts from the book Speak)
- 3 non-linked short story drafts
2. Prepare to read your draft out loud to class today (Jan. 26) by practicing reading your words out loud. Think about where you might change your tone of voice, where you might make eye-contact with your audience, what your characters might sound like when reading dialogue, and where you might pause for dramatic effect. Mark these places in your draft. I will collect your draft after you deliver/share your presentation with the class today.
