Today in the lab please complete the following tasks:
1. If you have not yet completed DRAFT ONE of your Pamela Houston draft, you are late and need to complete this draft today. Print and put your draft in your portfolio when you have completed it.
2. Work on the Vonnegut advice revision. See post below for details. Please complete ANY draft of ANY assignment you have worked on this marking period. Use the time in lab today to complete your previous or revised drafts. Some suggestions might include: The Ray Bradbury story draft, any workshopped or revised draft, Madonnas of Leningrad, closed poetry form, open poetry form drafts, ekphrastic poetry drafts, nature poetry drafts, everyday poetry, internal monologue, tense draft, etc.
3. Prepare ONE poem you've written this year (that you like enough to send it to a contest) and send it electronically to the PENFIELD POETRY CONTEST. You must save your work as a PDF or Word document (doc) file. Your name should NOT appear on the same page as the poem. A separate page with the contestant's (you) NAME, GRADE, SCHOOL, HOME ADDRESS, & PHONE # should be included on the cover page. The poem should not have a heading, but should have a title. Send your entry to: lgrills@libraryweb.org and enter POETRY CONTEST in the subject line of the email. Deadline is MONDAY, April 30. But do this today or Thursday so you don't forget!
