5-29

Grab a netbook!

Long-term Plan:
  • This week, we will have prompts today, Wednesday, and Thursday and using one of those prompts or your own idea, write the Rough Draft of your poem - due beginning of class Friday. 
  • Then Friday and Monday you will have time to edit your poem individually and in groups.  
  • For your final at the end of next week, you will read/present your poem.

Today's Plan:
  • By the end of class, you will have written a letter to yourself that will be emailed to you in the future via technology! FutureMe 
  • First, you are going to write on several prompts to get ideas for the letter and hopefully for your poems as well. 
  • Then, you'll edit it into a letter to yourself.
Do Now:
  • Pick a writing partner and move your desks together. You and your partner should talk about what you would want to say to yourself in the future.
  • When computer logs in, create a GoogleDoc, title it 'LastName Letter' and share with cynthiaeduncan@gmail.com
For each prompt -
  • Three minutes to write, two minutes to talk to your writing partner per prompt. 
  • You can write advice, a story, something you have learned, describe people you met, random musings...
Prompts:
  • Something you want to remember about freshman year.
  • Sophomore or junior year.
  • Senior year.
  • Job in the future.
  • People you think will still be in your life family/friends.
