1. Warming up with a little math and in-class focus and effort goals
2. Returning to memoir writing and considering your narrative arc
- Trying it out with Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
- Making sure you've chosen your memoir and labeled it "READ THIS ONE"
- Shaping your memoir using the narrative arc; figuring out which scenes still need to be written
- Try to identify your turning point first; the rest of the arc will fall into place.
3. Continuing to structure and draft your memoir/conferencing on your ELIC journals
4. Collecting journals and yellow sheets from people I haven't conferenced with yet
PLEASE TURN IN YOUR JOURNALS AND YELLOW SHEETS BY THE END OF CLASS IF YOU HAVE NOT YET CONFERENCED WITH ME.
HW:
1. Please finish your grammar fixes tomorrow. You don't need to print them; you can just put them in your grammar folder. (See above if you need an example.) If you wish to revise the content of your essay (not just the grammar), you must conference with me. All revisions must be submitted by November 11, which is the end of 12 weeks.
2. Optional (but encouraged): Sign up for a memoir conference by clicking HERE. Final memoirs due Oct 31 by 3:00 pm. These will be submitted electronically to www.turnitin.com rather than printed (we'll go over how to do this in class).
PLEASE REMIND YOUR PARENTS THAT I WILL ONLY BE AT CONFERENCES BETWEEN 3:00 AND 5:30.
