1. Warming up with some concrete thinking about some non-concrete skills
2. Offering you a tribute piece I recently wrote for my dad--look for artifacts!
- What does each artifact reveal about the narrator, the dad, and/or the relationship between the narrator and her dad?
- Click HERE for the writing exercises; we will focus on the artifact slides today (slides 24-29), but feel free to click around to whichever slides you need.
- Your goal: TWO PAGES of new draft before the end of class.
HW:
1. Read Chapters 21, 22, and 23 and complete your blog entry for tomorrow.
2. IF NEEDED (up to you), bring back your character's artifacts tomorrow for another big writing day on Friday.
3. STOP IN FOR A CONFERENCE! Sorry--the caps make it seem like I'm yelling at you. I'd love it if you stopped by for a conference. I'm off 5th each day, and I'm typically off during the second half of 3rd and after school.

Why do you think Chapter 21 was titled A Bird Who Flies?
ReplyDeleteI think it was because of James's mother and how she was reminiscing on how she would sing to the birds to fly away and be free, while slaughtering chickens that couldn't fly away and thus could never truly be free.
