Epistolary Project: Day 3

Class blogs are posted below this post. Make sure you have completed the 3 required posts so far...
  1. An introduction
  2. A review of Tears of a Tiger
  3. A post on something you are passionate about
Use your time during period 3 and some of 4 to complete your draft of the Epistolary Project. See posts below for more details. By 10:00 you should have something to share with your peers. We'll get together with each other then, and discuss/share our currently written drafts.

Group A: Farhan, Bisharo, Michelle, Tia, Makenna, Seyena, Keniah*, Emma*, Melinda, A'Layze, Lesana, Aalaysia, Liz, Zachariah*, Jonaya*, Amir

Group B: Degraj, Valerie, Madison, Tali, Wesley

* = I haven't confirmed that these students have chosen Option A. It's just a guess. They may be writing Option B.

After sharing today, you will have time to clean up the stories for continuity (keep some key details consistent...like dates, times, who shot who, or who went missing, etc.); Use the graphic organizer to help you with your notes. 

HOMEWORK: If you don't have your draft completed by this time, please complete as homework. Begin reading Annie Dillard's chapter on writing from her book The Writing Life. Complete the essay by Friday so we can write/discuss it. Annotate the article with emojis. Look for passages you like, passages that confuse you, passages that you would share or think are interesting, etc.
