Writing 12

Two poems due Friday, (day 1) period 5. This week I'm looking for how well you edit--how closely are you following Guppy's rules? If there are particular parts of the poem you are struggling with, you may highlight them and put a question beside the passage.

Also, for Monday's class, please email me a poem that you would like the class to edit.
If you have already emailed me a "quitting" poem, we can use that one or you may email me a new poem. We'll be putting the poem on the screen and discussing it / editing as a class.

Have a good weekend.

Dates to remember:
Wed. Nov. 9th--Claremont Review Celebration and Readings in the Copeland Theatre 7 p.m. You will need to take notes if you plan to use this event for your literary response. (If you missed the Patrick Lane presentation, you need to make that event up by attending an extra event). Bring in your response to class the next day.

Nov. 22nd Lunch and Period 4: Brendan MacLeod Workshop and Performance. You MUST attend both events in order to miss Writing 12 in period 5. Please get permission from your period 4 teachers this week. You can use period 5 to catch up on work missed during period 4 or it would be a good time to make an appt. to work with me to help you edit.
