Short Story Forum Response

During 7th period, please respond and complete the question/critique on the forum regarding your short story collection (A-M). During 8th period we will be returning to the library and checking out our second short story collection.

Lab: Complete draft 2 of any or all of your stories. If you finish early, you may:
1. Read your chosen short story collection, looking specifically for the author's use of characterization (this is homework, as well)
2. Write a new story
3. Write a new poem
4. Revise an old poem from your portfolio, considering persona or speaker and use characterization.

NOTE: Our coffee house performance is scheduled for tomorrow at 7:00 in the Ensemble Theater. Any one who attends AND reads will be given extra participation credit for this marking period. Hope to see you there.

HOMEWORK: Prepare for the coffee house; Read 1-3 stories in your chosen collection and bring your books with you next time to class.
