Use your time today in class to read or write. Your projects are due next class. Use this time to write if you are behind. If you are finished read. If you are stuck, read. When you are ready to write, write.
As you read your chosen collection, please pay attention to how the author creates a beginning, middle, end, interesting characters who interact with their setting, and how the authors use literary devices to create tone and imagery.
Both authors are quite skilled at dialogue, too. Pay attention to how this works. Stories should have a beginning, middle, and end. Note how the author wraps up a story: sometimes to a definite conclusion, sometimes to an open-ending. Think about WHAT the authors write about. What's their theme or point?
Pay attention to these things. They will help you write your own stories.
HOMEWORK: Read your collections. Attempt to complete the collection by Mid-week next week.
