Author Essay Is Approaching

Quick hit today.

Honors: read the classic and be sure you are preparing for the presentation. The presentations begin next week.

I heard dozens of great satire ideas today in periods one and two.   (Typed this prior to period 6). The best ones are the ones you care about, have an interest in or just are knowledgeable about.  Now take those ideas, be creative and satirize the heck out of them.  Come to class with a dog draft of your idea so we can hone, edit, revise and perfect it tomorrow.

Potential topics I can remember so far:

relationship goals
designer spending
fangirls
stereotyping
football safety
height
complaining about cafeteria food
lots of others too.

Here's a link to the rubric and expectations.

Standard:  read the novel and be sure you are preparing for the presentation.  The presentations begin next week.

You reflected on your timed writing today and we did a bit of work on acuity.

One more day to Thanksgiving!

Until next time...
