9/29 Agenda

Journal writing/Brainstorming:

Using your picture that you brought with you as homework (see previous class blog entry if you're confused) - use this picture to start a story. If you'd like get into the mind of the character, or stay objective and outside the photograph. Contrast what you write with what you know is the "future" for the people photographed.

When the journal writing has come to a close, please visit our forum. Complete the assignment from last class there. Take about 10 minutes to do so.
Afterward, we will be getting a new text book.

There will be assignments posted soon regarding the new text. More instructions will come! Please check the blog again at the end of class.

Time remaining in class? Write a second draft of the 1st story draft you worked on two classes ago. Expand the story. Add detail.
