1. Select a poem from the poetry packet that no one else in your group is writing about. Write a commentary for that poem.
2. You have two days to write: what is your process to write complexly?
Today and tomorrow you need to plan and write.
Your paper needs to be printed 5 minutes before the end of class tomorrow.
*Honor code: don't work on it at home....trust the process of writer's circle to work.
Monday we will be going through writer's workshop- TRUST THE PROCESS- stop scrambling and let the ugly writing appear. This has been a HIGHLY successful process for those who do use and trust the process.
“There have been so many interpretations of the story that I'm not going to choose between them. Make your own choice. They contradict each other, the various choices. The only choice that really matters, the only interpretation of the story, if you want one, is your own. Not your teacher's, not your professor's, not mine, not a critic's, not some authority's. The only thing that matters is, first, the experience of being in the story, moving through it." ― William Golding, Lord of the Flies
I want to hear your stories!
As an educator interested in open and honest reflection on the realities of teaching, I DO want to know your stories, as you see them. Please follow this link to the anonymous form if you are willing to share. I am interested in the stories of students and parents.
