Tuesday, 6 October

Tuesday was a "Thursday Block Schedule".

Writers worked with Mr. Zartler on the definition of "morbid." Writers made lists of things that can die (biologically or metaphorically).

Writers read the essay "Broccoli" by Anne Lamott. Writer's gave a name to their intuition, and made a list of things that really mattered to them.

WITS Residency began. Writer Karen Karbo taught her first lessons.

She introduced herself as an author of 11 books (one of which won an Oregon Book Award, another of which was nominate for a Pulitzer Prize). She has written many magazine articles.

Writer's will be writing a memoir or a personal narrative during her residency. The DEADLINE for turning these in is January 26th. NO pieces will be accepted after the deadline.

Writer's were asked to fill out their "real" profile (e.g. Facebook profile). To honestly answer the following (the first four are less interesting than the rest of the list).

Name
Birthday
Hometown
Political Views

Activities
Passions
Favorite Arguements
Things I hate
Most Traumatic Experience
Biggest Disappointment
Secrets
Best Personal Trait

These profile were put into the black WITS folders and turned in.

Karen will return for her next lessons on Thursday, 15 October.
