Welcome! Students you have been selected to be in this course, creative writing, because you have shown an interest in and aptitude for writing. I hope you will find this course interesting and challenging.
Please remember that throughout the semester you are responsible for three journal entries a week. You will almost always have one assigned at the beginning of class. Any others are free writes.
Homework for Sept. 21, 2009. DUE Wed., Sept. 23, 2009. Take suggestions from your groups and refine your poems. Print out a copy of your artwork and your poem (They may be on one page or two separate pages. The picture may be printed in black and white.) You will turn these into me. Be sure that you have formated poem and picture on your computer in a format that is appropriate for a gallery. We will be walking around the class and looking at all students' works on each individual computer screen. If you can't get both poem and picture on one page use keynote to make it into a slide show that can be set automatically.
Please remember to keep up with your journal entries.
Choose a photo from the keynote. Write a story which include what happened before the photo was taken, during the time the photo was taken and after the photo was taken.
Happy 2010! I hope that all of you had a restful winter break and have enjoyed the two snow days. Tomorrow, Wed. Jan. 6, will be a CDEF day. Therefore, I will see you during second block tomorrow. See you tomorrow morning. Ms. McCord
