Come prepared to embark on a new theme next week as we experiment with color and mood and how it relates to writing. You will have time in class to write and post your work on color, but if you haven't posted your significant object, things will dog-pile on you! The "object" post was due last week! If you miss class, read the blog to keep up! Don't expect to be able to hand things in late or whenever you want to. If you want full credit, post on time!The full 10 pages of writer's notebook pages (3rd writer's notebook installment) will be collected next week on Friday, February 26th. That is 10 one-sided pages or 5 pages, front and back. Writer's notebook 1 and 2 have already been collected and added into your grades for a total of 50 points each, 100 points so far. If you want full credit, hand it in on time! The theme posts are also worth 50 points each, with your "object" being the first theme post. This really is easy and simple if you keep up.
It's fun to write, and in this class and on this blog you have a chance to try new things, experiment with theme and genre, and write for yourself. If you keep your writer's notebook with you, it's easy to pull it out when you have extra time during the day. If you do that, you won't have a lot of work to do outside of class, and you can use your class time working on your theme post or your reading! So dive in! Get caught up!
Especially in Endeavor!! You can get about 3 pages per session if you write the whole 45 minutes.

ReplyDeleteWhat did we do Tuesday and Thursday and how can I get caught up?
ReplyDeleteHi Dany! I'm sorry you've been out. We've been playing with paint chips, the kind of sample cards you can pick up at the paint store. If you simply want to write in response to your favorite colors, you can. If you go to the HGTV link on my next post, it'll tell you the psychology of colors. One of the exercises we did was to take a writer's notebook page and draw two lines, dividing it into 4 squares. We wrote a color (any color) in each square, and then we listed as much as we could think of with regard to that color... person it reminds you of, a song or art piece, how it makes you feel, an event, anything you can think of with that color. Then we picked out a favorite color on a paint sample, and trying to match that color, we cut out 5 pictures from magazines and pasted them on to a writer's notebook page and at the bottom of the page we listed ideas to write about inspired by the pictures. We wrote lots more, but you may not have magazines or paint chips, and that's ok. We'll get you caught up. You could write an acrostic poem (spells out the word vertically) based on the name of a color. You could write a short story (fiction or non) and use the name of a different color in the first sentence of each paragraph and try not to mention it again. (4 or more paragraphs...) If you are sick, get well! You are missed. I'll help you when you get back!
