Let's read a few short stories from the Sudden Fiction collection. As we read, in your journal complete the writing prompts I give you in during class. We will have a couple options to develop during our writing time in class.
Honor writing time!
- "Popular Mechanics" (retell in a new way an old story from the Bible, mythology, or fairy tales...)
- "The Hit Man" (use chapter titles in a similar manner as T.C. Boyle in his short story; write mini-chapters that make up a larger story involving a protagonist)
Write that story draft.
Honor writing time!
HOMEWORK: Sudden Fiction - pg. 126-134; 112-121. Read these stories. In your journal summarize or identify the premise of each story you read. If you are inspired to try your own model of a story, write your draft in your journal. Journals will be collected on Tuesday, Oct. 30. The marking period ends next Friday, Nov. 2.
