HOMEWORK:
A complete rough draft of a piece of fiction, or creative non-fiction (possibly humorous) is due on Thursday. 

In class writers wrote to the prompt: "My father doesn't know...."

After sharing the class finished discussing "Chiasmus".

Next students read the piece "Writing About What Haunts Us."

After reading the piece writers wrote a personal response addressing their personal reaction as well as insight into writing that the piece offers.

Writers discussed the piece first in small groups, then we discussed as a whole class.
