Tuesday: Writers' Workshop: Bring the stories that you edited to class. Be ready to say what you discovered. Be prepared to discuss what is working and why and what is not working and why. Be sure to have your fiction criteria sheet handy so that you are not suggesting something is great that doesn't match our criteria, such as science fiction or romance writing.
Wednesday: Terence Young responses
Final entries due for The Claremont Review contest
Check to make sure that you have entered your poems on the Aerie International site and on the Polyphony HS site.
I need all the evaluation forms from your readings to English 9-11 classes by Thursday.
I need responses from Liam, Gabe, Jackie,
PS: If you feel your story is "ready" (and compared to the kinds of stories we receive your stories even at this early stage are probably pretty good) you may enter your story on Wed March 14. Entering now won't interfere with June submissions or next year's contest.
All you need to do is print off
a good, double spaced copy, and fill in a new contest entry form and attach it with a paperclip and hand it to me.
Spring break: Finish reading the novel. Choose an author from the list below, sign out his/her books, and search on-line, read, read, read. Find a partner and we'll start presenting when you return. You may have to ask Mrs. Tweedie to order in the book you need (so do so this week) or check out the local library here or at home.
